Prestashop: how to recognize admin password, having FTP and MySql parameters?

Question

I have only FTP and MySql access parameters. My client didn't tell me the password to access the dashboard. How could I recovery it? (I haven't email access, so I can't use the normal recovery and I can't contact my client before next 2 day...)

Answer 1

Copy the password hash of one of your customer (or create a new one) from ps_customers table to the password field of employee in ps_employee table.

PS: pub@prestashop.com customer is created by default, if still exists use that password hash. (Password for this customer is 123456789).

Answer 2

Use any free online MD5 generator like http://www.md5hashgenerator.com but ecode COOKIE_KEY from settings.inc.php and new Password (with no space).

'COOKIE_KEYNewPassword' example 'bWZbVe5OEq4nwbWZbVe5OEq4nwbVe5OEq4nwnJI2xj8g3nAW1GC1y5KTwMyPassword’

Now cope your new password (MyPassword) to the ps_employee table in your database instead of the old pass.

Answer 3

In your database go and look at the table named PS_employee

While there add a new line with appropriate info and for password use this generator
