I Forgot the Password for My PHP-Fusion 7.x Installation

Normally, the built-in “Forgot password” function on your website should help you recover access. If that is no longer possible, follow these steps:

  • Open your database using a database management tool (phpMyAdmin is available directly in cPanel).
  • Locate and open the fusion_users table (the prefix before _users may vary depending on your setup).

Find your username and update the following columns with the values below:

  • Column user_salt: 81ea9e9202946abe788f5e438cacd98d56439778
  • Column user_password: 9089b3bfab2e2ae1dfcbde4c288ba9c564c8154dc38382621f3ff2dc88fe96d9
  • Column user_admin_salt: 81ea9e9202946abe788f5e438cacd98d56439778
  • Column user_admin_password: 9089b3bfab2e2ae1dfcbde4c288ba9c564c8154dc38382621f3ff2dc88fe96d9

After saving the changes, you can log back into your PHP-Fusion website using the temporary user and admin password 5nU=848U8d5bX and change it immediately in your profile settings.
