I’ve previously shown how in DNN you could recover your DNN host password. In present times DNN has shifted it’s default password policy in DNN 7.1.0 to use a hash password.
What this means is that you can no longer simply see what the current password is for any of your users. While this is great for security it’s a problem if you’ve forgotten your password and smtp is down.
Expanding upon my previous script I’ve created a single page utility application that will allow you to:
- See top 25 super users.
- Change any users password.
- Create a new super user.
Now just save this file to the root of your DNN application (beside the default.aspx) and happy resetting.
Thanks so much for creating this!! I spent the last 3 days racking my brain trying to figure out how to reset my host password then I found this and it worked like a charm on the first try!!
