    I upgraded umbraco to latest version and now I can't log in.

    Hi,

    I have the following problem. While creating a new content a message appeared asking me if I want to upgrade to the latest build. "Sure, why not?" and I upgraded it. Now I can't log into my administration dashboard with any of the already created users. After I enter credentials the page reloads itself and asks for credentials again. I opened the database and checked the passwords. Since they are stored in clear text one can be sure that the password is correct. I can open the site and browse it normally but the dashboard won't log me in. 

    My version before the upgrade was 4.0.0 - first after the beta.

    Windows 2003 with IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET 2.0

     

    Thank you for your time.

    You may need to change the settings for the user membershipprovider int he web.config to change the password format back to clear, if you've updated the web.config in your update.  This tip if from 3->4 upgrade but may apply here

    From

    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
        type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
        enablePasswordRetrieval="false" 
        enablePasswordReset="false" 
        requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
        defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" 
        passwordFormat="Hashed" />

    To

    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
        type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" 
        enablePasswordRetrieval="false" 
        enablePasswordReset="false" 
        requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
        defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" 
        passwordFormat="Clear" />

    Thanks Dan,

    There was no passwordFormat option in my web.config file. I added passwordFormat="Clear" to the membership provider but no luck. I get the same behaviour.

    Do you have many users in your backend?

    What about programmatically hash the passwords?

    Thanks Macke,

    I was just testing the same. I found this http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/4790-ouch-forgot-admin-password-how-to-reset and in the database for one user I entered bnWxWyFdCueCcKrqniYK9iAS+7E= witch according to the post is 'default', but no luck.
