Hi all,
I installed NM about a year ago. I am set as the administrator, but recently my pc hard disk packed up on me. Unfortunately I did not have a note of my Admin login details. 
Is there any way I can access the admin area and reset new login name and password? 
I am hoping that I dont have to re-install the software!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Trevmac,
Thanks for the forum post  .
If you have FTP access to your web server, there's a way to access your News Manager username/password. Here's how: - Locate a file in your /data folder named account.dat.cgi.
- Open the file using a text editor.
- You should see lines like this:
1ˇ1067899319ˇ1067899319ˇˇericˇericˇpasswordˇ9ˇˇ
- Each one represents an user. eric is the username and password is the password.
That's it!  You can figure out what your username/password is and go from there.
Cheers,
