I have a 4.5.2 umbraco site, which have run'ed for about 2 month. This morning my users report that they can't logon. I can't logon either as "admin" user.
I have tried to recover the password by copying the password hash code into the umbnracoUser table in the DB from another 4.5.2 installation as mentioned here:
Yes, AFAIK you can set the web.config to use non-hashed passwords and then just type in the password you want to use in the database. Once you've logged on you can switch back to hashed and change your password.
Odd though that all your users can't log on. Has anybody maybe played with the web.config file?
Problem solved ! Changed the PasswordFormat to "Clear", updated the user table, log on to umbraco, change the PasswordFormat back to "Hashed", and changed the password through the umbraco UI.
That's the true value of Umbraco: a fantastic community :-)

Any hints is greatly appriciated :-)

Check that the password is set to hashed in the web.config in the membership section.
If not, is it then possible to use clear text passwords ?
Yes, AFAIK you can set the web.config to use non-hashed passwords and then just type in the password you want to use in the database. Once you've logged on you can switch back to hashed and change your password.

Yup, Sascha is right. The technique he mentions should work for you.
