It's really annoying. I can't update my site since it won't let me in.
How can I find my password? I might have forgotten it. Is it stored somewhere? I tried to inject my own site but still no result. Please help.
Thanks.
@MyFenix - I assume you have direct access to the database tables? On that assumption:
1. Using phpMyAdmin (or whatever), go to the user_permission table, and find a user_id that has its permission_id set to 1; make a note of that user_id.
2. Go back to the user table, and find that user_id. You will also see the matching username — and that is what you use to login with.
3. For that user, copy/paste the following value:
d0be2dc421be4fcd0172e5afceea3970e2f3d940into the password field. That is the “sha1” encoding for “apple”.
4. Go back to your login screen, and use that username, and the password “apple”. That should get you into the system with an id that has full admin rights.
5. You can then change the password to something of your choice from the user area of the backend.
Hope that works!!
Thanks, it works. 
Thank you! This worked for me as well!
David I would go with a banana over an apple.

Is sha1 the best encryption PHP has to offer?
No... Which is why I've defined a 0.7.0 "Security Hardening" release in the roadmap 
Not decided yet

a real life saver!
Just a small update for those still watching this thread:
Starting from Wolf 0.7.0, the passwords in the DB will be:
1. Salted using a generated salt.
2. Hashed using Sha256
(salted passwords always seem tastier than unsalted ones... )
So I'm having the same issue the OP had. Mine is on a fresh install, though. The username and password the installation process gives me does nothing. I can log in fine on a local host (using MAMP) with the exact same Wolf installation. 
Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We'd need to know more about your installation... that is works on your MAMP means nothing if your server has a setup issue. (for example)
Can you post the following information:
- Wolf CMS version
- PHP version
- DB version
- OS type
- Did you turn on DEBUG?
- Did you check the content of your DB? Were the tables and content created by the install process?
- Do you get a message that your username/password is incorrect when trying to login?
- Do you get any error at all?
Just as an initial hint, an often occurring problem seems to be that the server administrator did not configure sessions properly.

Hah, sorry. I just didn't know what you wanted and I didn't want to post everything and my dog's name, so... 
Local server
Wolf version: Actually I'm not completely sure. XD The changelog goes up to 0.7 but the website says "0.6.0a"
PHP version: 5.3.2
DB: MySQL 5.1.44
OS: OSX 10.6.4
This one logs in perfectly fine and works like a charm.
Public server
Wolf version: The same as the local version, whatever that may be.
PHP version: 5.2.2
DB: MySQL 5.0.77
OS: Debian
When I tried to log on, it just returns to the login screen. No error message or anything. It does the same thing when I enter a username and password that I know is wrong. It's definitely writing the database tables during the installation. I even tried exporting the working server's database and importing it into the other one, but I still couldn't log in (using the working server's name and password).
The only thing that didn't work in the installation was the clean URLs, which didn't work in the local install.
And what do you mean the server administrator didn't configure sessions properly?
If you're not getting a red popup error message when trying to login with a bogus username, you probably have a problem with your sessions. Please see this thread/post on details.
If you're not the one responsible for configuring your live server, ask your administrator to "set the session save path" or at least have them take a look at the link I posted.
You, my friend, have saved my day. Thank you TONS.
Apparently my server (FatCow) uses a totally outdated php.ini file.
I'm new to this sort of thing; I'm just a poor little designer trying to get by.
Again, thanks a TON. *high five*
EDIT: Whuh-oh, now I can't modify or add users on the live server, but I can locally. Is this related or should I start a new thread?
EDIT #2: Maybe I should include the slightest of details, eh? When I try and add a user it just says "User not added!" Silly Wolf CMS, of course not. But why?

One more thing to check.
create test.php file (in notepad for example) and content:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>Upload with ftp in your server and you should get all php info including php session path.
In my case I deleted "tmp" folder from my ftp root folder what was php session path(I tought it was just a pointless temp folder generated by host until i set my page up). I wasn't informed nowhere, that this folder is neccessary for php sessions.
Is there any simple code to detect correct php session path? Maybe include in next release.
What permissions should I use on that folder? CHMOD 700?
