    Problems loggin in locally

    Hi folks,

    This is a new one for me - all of a sudden I can't access my admin account. I'm running the site locally using web matrix. Comparing existing sites with this I've noticed that the userNoConsole has been set to True - any ideas if this is what's caused this issue? I've tried to change it but iw won't allow me to do so. This is a dev site but I've done quite a lot of work on it so would prefer not to have to start-again so any help would be great!enter image description here

    The error message is: Login failed for user [email protected]

    Thanks in advance. Darren

    Hi Darren.

    The userNoConsole=true usally means that your user as entered the wrong password x number of times and therfor been locked out.

    If you look in your logfiles (/Config/Logs) you will probobly see lines that look something like:

    "Login attempt failed for username xxxxx from IP address ::1, the user is locked"

    What do you mean when you say:

    I've tried to change it but iw won't allow me to do so

    You should be able to change this to false.

    https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/55221-Unlock-a-user

    Solution is to:

    1. change the "userNoConsole" field to false for your user in the "umbracoUser" database
    2. "Touch" your web.config (add a space and save it) or restart appPool

    Best of luck to you!!!

    Hi Dennis,

    Thanks for getting back to me!

    Sorry, bad typing! What I meant to say is that I can't change the userNoConsole field in the Web Matrix database editor - I can change the text within the field and confirm, but when I refresh it reverts to True. Very odd!

    Thanks Darren

    Hi again Darren.

    That is strange, you sholud be able to change it like any other SQL db. Could you try with some other software? SQL Server, or if its a CE database, there is a really good software called CompactView you can use to open it. https://sourceforge.net/p/compactview/home/Home/

    Or if you dont want to deal with all the hazzle, you can just install this package: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-admin-reset/ which will set the Username to Admin and password to Admin1234!

    I Really hope this works out for you, let me know if there is any other way i can help.

    Hi Dennis,

    Tried the plugin and that didn't work either :-(

    Will try that CompactView software next.

    Off course, had the same issue a few weeks ago where a client could'nt log in anymore and I could'nt figure out the problem. Turned out that it was the userNoConsole, and by changing it to false/0 everything worked out. Hopefully this works out for you as well.

    I've had a similar thing too, but this was on a live site using SQL Server, just changed the noUserConsole to 0 and all was well - this one, however, is running locally using SQL CE, it just won't save the field. I've ended up rebuilding the site (I was only at the start anyway), but it will be useful to know how to do this for the future. I will download that software and give it a go just to see what happens!

    Thanks again for your help - I'll let you know how I get on!
