For some reason I am no longer able to log into my admin for my umbraco site in spite of being able to get into it this morning. For some reason, umbraco do not have the ability to let you reset the password in the log in screen.
I've check my database and the password stored in my SQL Database in encrypted and I've no means to decrypt it.
Does anyone know of a way I can reset my admin pass?
So far I've tried refreshing my app pool and things like that, but I'm now at a loss as to what to do. I've also tried to create a new password using the following website found here and discovered that the hash code it generates, matches perfectly with the one found in my SQL database.
But I am still unable to sign in as an admin to my website.

Hi SlothMonkey
Are you by any chance on a VPN connection? I've had issues with this as well. But only when I'm logged onto a VPN connection.
Have you tried doing a restart of your machine?
If that does not work then please see this post http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/4790-ouch-forgot-admin-password-how-to-reset - There are some different ways of doing a reset, which will make it possible for you to login again and then you can change the password once again afterwards.
