I just completed an install of 4.9.00 to my XP SP2 laptop with MSSQL 2008 Express. All worked well. I was able to add a module, and develop with VS2008 and see my changes emerge.

Then, at some point, as I was developing, I was not able to login as host or admin again. I am sure I set the passwords correctly (because they worked at first). After three times I got locked out... so it can get to the database OK (LockedOut was set to True when I looked at the database). So what changed my passwords???? Was it the user logged-in timeout? I was working in a group and we did have some long pauses between compiles.

Interestingly, when I go to the page with my module on it, it tells me the module is not available.

I wanted to try that solution someone posted about registering as a new user to get an encrypted password/salt pair... however, I guess I didn't enable registration (I didn't think I had to) because the registration link just returns to my home page without any complaint. I'm guessing I should probably have put a registration module or something on that home page?

Well, now, obviously I cannot, as I can't get into the portal.

Could someone mail me (jesse.wolfe at mckesson.com) a pair of encrypted strings and the password that goes with them so I can paste them in and see if that lets me in?

Is there anything else someone can think of as to why my authentication is suddenly failing?

I'm going to try a full reboot, but figured might a well post this because it will happen to someone else one day. :)
 

Thanks...
