hi,
i got a few number of users who cannot login after they reset their password.
1. i checked the cookies setting - OK
2. i tried to change the user password through admin CP - password changed but user cannot login - still got wrong password message, reset password link
3. i tried manually change via SQL using salt='' - user still cannot login - got wring password message
Previously i upgraded from 1.8.3 to 1.8.4.
my forum:
http://malaysianbikers.com.my/forum
what could go wrong?
help is much appreciated.
cookie domain should be .malaysianbikers.my -
Edit: hmm., ignore this
And as you set cookie domain should be
.malaysianbikers.com.my
see also
cookie settings guidance
but my domain is malaysianbikers.com.my
i use the cookie generator as attached

however, i tried change it as you suggested, but still cannot login - got this error message:
Please correct the following errors before continuing:
You have entered an invalid username/password combination.
If you have forgotten your password please retrieve a new one.
untill now, those who reset their password cannot login, even after i changed their password through Admin CP.
I registered as "test pass" and the password reset worked for me without any problem - a correct password was emailed, I can login with it. Have you tried checking it yourself with your/new account? I guess the user who reported it is doing something wrong.
Now that's weird.
i did change test pass password from admin CP. And try to login as test pass - all ok.
Previously even before u replied, i did the same thing (change the user pwd in ACP) and it didnt work.
does it has anything to do with settings.php file permission? bcoz i chmod settings.php to 666
Ok, i did try again with this 2 users login. Change the pwd in the ACP. Then try login using that user name but cannot - wrong paswd mesg.
How can i check what's wrong with the account?

I doubt, but it should be writable regardless of this issue. Why did you change it? Have you also changed other file permissions?
i changed it to 666 because i follow the
cookie tutorial
previously i think it was 774.
currently i have 2 users which even after i changed their password via ACP, they still cannot login - incorrect password.
any idea where should i check?
from mysql, the passwordconverttype is smf2 (i migrated from smf2 to mybb)
does this got something to do with the problem?
previous version 1.4
i've updated 1.4.1 and it solved the problem.
thank you.
p/s: i did search before post this posting, but couldn't find any post related.

Is it as simple as ACTIVATING this new version 1.4.1 in PLUGINS? I don't have to run any commands or anything like that? (Same issue here: users can't reset passwords).
