So just inherited a old Umbraco site on version 4.11.8,
The biggest problem I have is they have no logins details for the site.
I have tried the usual suspects (Change the hash in the db or adjust the password store to clear) but am having no luck at all and seems to not pick up the change.
Am not versed up with Umbraco 4 as I should be so was wondering if any one have any ideas or have come across issue this before?
You can reset see username in DB, open table umbracoUser.
In old versions of umbraco password can be saved in clear text, if it's hashed you can replace userPassword with known hash
Note. for anyone else that has a similar issue, I solved this after I figured out that when restoring a database the users attached to the database sometimes gets orphaned. Running this SQL against the database will fix the orphaned users:
Umbraco 4 Cannot login in to backoffice
