HowTo Modify My Password Using PHPMyAdmin

Question: I’m unable to remember my password, and I’m not getting my Forgot Password email to get a new one. How can I figure out what my password is?

Answer: Passwords are encrypted using SHA1, so you’ll need to replace your password with a known SHA1’d password.

In this case, I use the password of password, which is set to:


5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8

Using a MySQL tool such as PHPMyAdmin (or something similar) replace the value of password with the text string listed above.

NOTE: Once you log into the EE backend, make sure to change your password to something else.

phpmyadmin, password

Increase PHP Memory Limit on MAMP Pro

By default PHP has either 8MB (for PHP4) or 16MB (for PHP5) of memory on MAMP PRO (version 1.8.2). 16MB is certainly enough to run a basic install of ExpressionEngine but advanced image manipulation or use of the IP to Nation module will require more.

In MAMP PRO go to the File > Edit Template menu and then select the version of PHP you are working with. This will open the php.ini file in an editor window. Scroll down to find or search for ‘memory_limit’. This will be under the ‘Resource Limits’ heading on about line 230. It will look something like this (for PHP5):


memory_limit = 16M; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

To change the limit to 32MB we can edit it like this:


memory_limit = 32M; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

Select File > Save. Now you will have to restart the server for the change to take place.
