What is rkey and can it be changed ??

[tjebbeke]

I have a quick look at the code and think it has something to do with password hash or something random for authentication.

v-change-user-password

Code: Select all

update_user_value "$user" '$RKEY' "$(gen_password)"

web/reset/index.php

Code: Select all

$rkey = $data[$user]['RKEY'];
if ($rkey == $_POST['code']) {
     ...
} else {
    $ERROR = "<a class=\"error\">".__('Invalid username or code')."</a>";
}

When a user request there password to be reset they must enter the code that is emailed to them. This code happens to be the rkey. So in your case you could go to the reset password page enter your username "admin" click request then enter the rkey "OIHOopsK2P" as the Reset Code click next then enter your new password and you would be able to change your password.
