Resetting Lost Password Of Sugar CRM
May 10th, 2008Well, this post is all about resetting the lost password of sugar CRM.by the way,Sugar CRM is a great Open source software for project management,employees management and the CRM.
Well, not talking too much ,let me straightly tell you the process.
Suppose you have forgot the password for your username ‘demouser’
1.Login to PHPMyAdmin/mysql console.
2.Select the Sugar CRM ’s daabase ,in my case it was named sugarcrm so i selected sugarcrm.
to select the database in PhpMyAdmin ,simply select it from left sidebar dropdown box.
in case of mysql console use the following query
-> use sugar_db_name
where -> denotes mysql prompt(i am assuming) and the sugar_db_name is the name of the database where you have installed the sugar crm.
3.Now you are almost half done.Just one more step.
suppose you have to reset password for the user having username “demouser”
so execute the following query.
update users set user_hash=md5(’password’) where user_name=’demouser’;
this will reset the demouser’s password to “password”
Now suppose i forgot the password of admin account,so what i need to do.Well i am showing you to reset the password of admin to the text “testadminpassword”
use the following query
update users set user_hash=md5(’testadminpassword’) where user_name=’admin’;
Process analysis in detail
As sugar CRM stores its password as md5 32 character hash,we have simply updated that value.The field user_hash in the user’s table signifies the password of user.
Wow,Congratulations, you have successfully reset your password.[:)]
