Cannot login after upgrade to 5.0 [solved]

[kyomar]

Hi, thanks for the latest elxis 5.0. The upgrade from 4.6 to 5.0 worked flowlessly except that I cannot login anymore. Message: wrong password. Any ideas? Thank you!

Most probably you used the prior to Elxis 4.3 password encryption library which is now deprecated.
You can change your password easily by following these instructions:

Thanks Blacksoll and datahell, something seems to be really wrong with my elxis installation. The script doesn't seem to work (same as in 2016). After inserting the code in index.php and running it with the username and new password as described all I get is "website is offline" (set website to offline before upgrading). I didn't try the trick with the old copy of crypt.helper.php file. I really would like to solve this once and for all.

Edit your configuration.php at line  private $ONLINE = 1;  to put the site online and the code will work.

That did the trick - all good. Thanks a lot Blacksoll and datahell for your help, greatly appreciated.
