[SOLVED] Lost Admin Login Details

I set up two new instances of the Wonder CMS 3.3.2 via my hosting company's Softalicious installer. In both cases I filled in the line of the form for "Email installation details to : ." But it didn't...

So: how can I reset the password to log in?

(This is why I almost always write things down on paper.....)

Under config in database.js I see:

"password": "$2y$10$MnYKz3mvGG.v\/nZAxg6QcuXh8f\/JXy52UBgEPwdfnhLTQp4z69qRe"

Can I change that out to log in?

Backup your website if possible (WonderCMS > Settings > Security > Backup) and follow this guide:

Not sure if WonderCMS sends login details to email.

Hello Appalbarry!

As Nox posted (https://github.com/robiso/wondercms/wiki/Reset-password), you can simply reset the password by replacing the password with the one in the above link.

This should reset your password to "admin" (without quotation marks).

Drop by again if there's any additional issues you might have and we'll gladly help.

Nox, you're awesome for jumping in, thank you!

Thanks! A nice simple solution, and even better it doesn't require 2FA on a smart-phone!
