    Password stopped working after 7.6 upgrade

    I just updated to 7.6 from 7.5.6. I'm at the beginning of the instillation where the login screen appears, however it will not accept my admin password.

    Reset password doesn't work.

    I did a manual update.

    Where did I go wrong? Is it in the web config?

    Hi Christine,

    There is a change in the Web Config that has cropped up. 7.6 disabled legacy password encoding by default so it could be that you need to change the setting in the webconfig.

    In the membership section you will find the providers, make sure that the "useLegacyEncoding" attribute is set to false (sorry I cant remember which one is the back office and which is for front end users).
