Hello,

In a previous post you mentioned that you placed the changes in the release.config file.

Can I confirm this is what you have done:

Make a backup copy of your original web.config file

Upload the upgraded files of DNN v 4.3.5

In the new 4.3.5 version of the web.config file edit it to match the details in your original web.config file - ie. the machine keys and date installed.

The machine keys are used to interpret the passwords within DNN and each installation has different machine keys.

I had done something similar... could not login to anything... assuming you have access to the database, you can fix by doing the following (I just now finished doing it):

1) Register a new user

2) Open the aspnet_Users table and copy the Userid GUID to notepad for "host" and "newuser"

3) Open the aspnet_Membership table. Find the row with the Userid (GUID) for "newuser" and copy paste the values from Password and PasswordSalt columns to notepad

4) Find the row with the userid (GUID) for "host", edit the row, and past the values from "newuser" into the Password and PasswordSalt columns.

5) Save the data

You should now be able to login to host using the password you used to setup the new user account. Now you can go reset all the passwords for all the other users and send notification to them to let them know that their password has been reset and their new password is now xxxxx.

Hope this helps... Paul

I am not sure if this was the SOLLUTION that worked
after i followed the above instructions and tried to login the same problem occured

however after i tried restarting it and doing other things i decided to let go
the next day I came upon this hack:

Dim uc AS UserController = new UserController
objUser = uc.GetUser(PortalID, UserID)

which is placed in the file admin/security/Signin.ascx.vb right under line 332

332 (' Windows/DNN password validation should be same, check this status here
                strMessage = UserController.GetUserCreateStatus(createStatus)
            ElseIf (Not objAuthUser Is Nothing) AndAlso (Not objUser Is Nothing) Then)

 Dim uc AS UserController = new UserController
 objUser = uc.GetUser(PortalID, UserID)

then i login in with the same newuser password and under host username.. everything went fine for now.

I decided to test it to find out the right sollution and took off the code and login in again and it work

so my conclusion is that the first sollution worked and the second may help but I am not sure.

Here is were I got the info:
