Hi, Newbie here- posted in the wrong section yesterday. I got a website created but it does not have a lost password script. I was wondering if I could use a readily available open source script and upload it to my hosting server- would that work? It's not the password to my hosting account, but to the admin section created by the Indian programmer. This guy - Connectix.net also at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , sold me the script in December of 2006, and I sent him the specification for my website, but instead he created a competing website! He added all the things he told me he could not create for me onto the competing website! Additionally, he purchased and used my expired domain extension, but with the same domain name! He has consistently ignored my request to get a completed site.

I paid him extra to add the missing things, including pages I added to the database- before I bid, his ad stated, and he confirmed that he would help me if I needed help, plus it said that additional pages and changes could be made if I wanted to. After a year of him ignoring my request for assistance I tried to ad subpages, but when I tested the links going to the new subpages it comes up with an error message, example: http://www.(domainname).com/%22links.php?ax=list&sub=72&cat_id=106/%22

So I know now I have to find a way to display the contents of my database from my hosting panel, and then (somehow) add the new subpages?


From my admin section, it comes up with a blank page and error message: "You have entered the wrong password. Click here to Login again". Once I click to try again, the URL goes to: http://www.(domainname).com/siteadmin/index.php

and the URL of the page that asks to enter password says: "http://www.(domainname).com/siteadmin/?login=true"

The problem is when I want to access the- http://(domainname.com)/siteadmin page. I am also a newbie to php- I just started reading on it!

How do I reveal my own password to my own site? Or even better, get a simple 'lost password' code to upload to my hosting account so I won't be locked out of my own site (since March)? Also, how do I reveal the contents of the site's database so I can edit it by adding the new subpages- or is this the right way to do it? I would gladly just pay a few bucks to a programmer who knows how, but I know I should add a few more bucks to that and learn how to do it, so I can add as many subpages as I want, etc. Please help? If there was a place I could report this guy and his 'company' believe me I would, but I just want my site working- I paid for it!
