Hm, that is exactly how I’d expect it to work.  There is no reason force_demo_password shouldn’t work… does it give you an error message when you try to change it?

OK, force_demo_password worked and my invoices are there. I think I was using the wrong path. I tried using the any_password_here function and opened the page properly but what do I do next? I pushed the login button and entered my original password but the login failed.

any_password_here?

Could you verify you are using the same email address?  None of this makes much sense, I can’t understand how it wouldn’t be working.

I’m using the same email address and it works with the demo password. When I visit the any_password_here page, I am trying to change the password from demo back to my original password. The only place I see to type it in is by clicking the login button on that page or revisiting the main login. I have tried both and both fail. When I visit the any_password_here page, how do I change my password? What should happen? I feel that I’m missing something really simple but it’s flying right over my head. I am a novice at web programs.

There’s nothing in bamboo that says “any_password_here”.  I’m confused.  What is the URL of the page you are visiting?

If what you are trying to do is change you password, have you read that section of the userguide?

I am following the user guide:
Changing your admin password
In the file bamboo_system_files/application/controllers/login.php there is a function at the
very bottom entitled force_demo_password(). If you uncomment it, you can now visit
“http://yoursite/bambooinvoice/index.php/login/force_demo_password” and your
password will be set to “demo” again, or alternatively, visit
“/force_demo_password/any_password_here” and set it to anything you want. Don’t forget
to comment it out again when you’re done!

The URL of the page ends with “any_password_here”.

LOL!  OH my goodness.  What a funny mis-communication.  I meant “any_password_here” in the userguide as a way of saying that you could add anything you want.  For example, if you wanted your new password to be “elephant” then you’d visit

http://yoursite/bambooinvoice/index.php/login/force_demo_password/elephant

if you wanted it to be “mysecretpass, then you’d visist

http://yoursite/bambooinvoice/index.php/login/force_demo_password/mysecretpass

In your case, I think you’ve reset your password literally to “any_password_here” 

I had a great laugh at myself too. I said in an earlier post that something simple was flying right over my head when actually it had landed on my nose! I did see your last post soon after you made it but life took over after that. Thanks for the quick reply. The password reset worked perfectly. I knew that I was a literal person but we all are to some degree. Does the “any key” syndrome ring a bell?.........any_password…..any key!!!!!!
