Cannot access back office

[lowlight]

Hi, I have created a copy of my prestashop store in order to start developing for 1.5.

 

I have created a copy of the site on a new database, and a copy of the files as well. I edited the settings.php of the new copy, to use the new database.

 

The problem is, it won't let me access the backoffice using my password. I tried resetting the password, but that did not work either. I changed the cookie key and attempted to reset the password again, but for some unknown reason, there is a 6 HOUR limit between resets (~!~!!!!!!) and this cannot be changed in the config files (!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????)

 

So what should I do here? I already tried manually upgrading it, but the 1.5 upgrade script is broken beyond use (I submitted a topic in that forum already).

 

Am I basically supposed to wait until final comes out before doing anything with it?

hopefully this will help..

 

via phpmyadmin, edit your configuration fields, set it to 0

Hi, that got rid of the timeout - thanks

 

However the newly generated password will still not work. There is no error, it just doesn't work
