| htaccess and htpasswd: I need to reset my htpasswd. I've forgot the passwod for an .htpasswd file | ||||
|
Passwords stored in .htpasswd files are not retrievable. They are stored with one-way encryption - no "plain text" version of the passwords is stored. In order to reset a password that you have set in .htaccess + .htpasswd you'll need to temporarily delete the password file and recreate it. If you have many passwords and only want to reset one, you can edit the file and delete the line for that particular user. You may also use the htpasswd program to reset the password. Another method is to temporarily remove the .htaccess file that is protecting the files. Keep in mind though that this will open the directory up to any user on the internet until you re-add the .htaccess + .htpasswd files. Last update: 10.12.2003, 13:11
