How Do I reset my Merchant ID Login
My merchant login shows "This account has been locked for 10 minutes" becuse I entered wrong password couple of time. The forgot password link also does not work. How do I reset the password?

Re: How Do I reset my Merchant ID Login
The only way I have found is to go directly to the database and changed the entries in the ac_User table for that id- Change IsLockedOut to false, change LastLockoutDate to something a few hours previous, change FailedPasswordAttemptCount to 0. I don't think you can re-set the password, but if you clear the above you might be able to login with what you think it is.

Re: How Do I reset my Merchant ID Login
There are a couple of options. One is to use the ResetAdmin script. This is found in the "Install" folder of the distribution files, but I am attaching a more recent edition here (the version that is in the final distribution won't reset the account locked indicator).
There are three things you have to set at the top of the file:
So put that script in place on your server, adjust these settings, and then visit the script in the browser. Then you should be able to log in with the user account you specify.
You must delete the file as soon as you are done using it.
There are three things you have to set at the top of the file:
Code: Select all
//BY DEFAULT THIS SCRIPT IS DISABLED
//CHANGE THE LINE BELOW FROM FALSE TO TRUE TO USE THIS SCRIPT
bool enabled = false;
//THIS IS THE USER THAT WILL BE CREATED OR RESET
//YOU CAN UPDATE THEM IF YOU WANT TO USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT
string userName = "admin@ablecommerce.com";
string password = "password";
You must delete the file as soon as you are done using it.
