i really need your help.....

i cant enter my administration control...it says that the password is wrong...this happened after i embeded g2 to mambo...before that i was able to log in without any problem, i also implemented my image from from gallery 1.5... now i'm stuck...

i read the FAQ's and found these suggestion.

*********
C.37.

I've forgotten my admin password! How can I reset it?

Version 1.4.3 or below: Resetting your admin password is easy; just set your Gallery into config mode, rerun the configuration wizard and specify a new password on step 2.

Version 1.4.4 and above:

1. Create a file named
resetadmin
in your /gallery/setup directory.

2. Visit the configuration wizard in your browser
3. Follow the instructions on the page
4. Specify a new password in step 2 of the configuration wizard

The config wizard will give you a special piece of information, and you will be required to edit the resetadmin file, add the string, save, and refresh your browser. This is a security measure to prove that you are an administrator.

***********

as it says i created a new file name "resetadmin" (without any ending) and inserted it into /gallery/setup...

then i started the configuration wizard again...

step1: authentification ok
step2: check ok
step3: at this point i should be able to change the password..but i couldnt change it..it was blocked...

can anyone help me out?

PS: @admins: sorry for sending the same thread again...the last one was not in the right subject... ;-)

Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
