Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/251

I've changed the admin password but it will still only log in with admin@123.

From the file I changed....

// Users: array('Username' => 'Password', 'Username2' => 'Password2', ...) // Generate secure password hash - https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/docs/pwd.html $auth_users = array( 'admin' => '$2y$10$/K.hjNr84lLNDt8fTXjoI.DBp6PpeyoJ.mGwrrLuCZfAwfSAGqhOW', //admin@123 'user' => '$2y$10$Fg6Dz8oH9fPoZ2jJan5tZuv6Z4Kp7avtQ9bDfrdRntXtPeiMAZyGO' //12345 );

I've cleared cookies and also restarted nginx and php7.2-fpm. Any other reason why password refuses to change?

first generate the new password from here, then replace the password of admin $2y$10$/K.hjNr84lLNDt8fTXjoI.DBp6PpeyoJ.mGwrrLuCZfAwfSAGqhOW to your new password

@prasathmani commented on GitHub (Nov 4, 2019): first generate the new password from [here](https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/docs/pwd.html), then replace the password of admin `$2y$10$/K.hjNr84lLNDt8fTXjoI.DBp6PpeyoJ.mGwrrLuCZfAwfSAGqhOW` to `your new password`

Hello,

I have the exact same issue.

Let's say I want to have : "mickey" and password "donaldduck", I've set this using the generator:

$auth_users = array(
'mickey' => '$2y$10$jKnX/tGRXChevqpZv5lrR.XW4mvLDWCFpj1goYkWcyo3bu56XmDw.'
);

restarted nginx and php to avoid any cache issue.

Yet the new username and password do not work, it still says "Login failed. Invalid username or password"

I'm totally clueless as to what is happening here. Using PHP 7.4.2.

Using this code here doesn't work either:

$auth_users = array(
'mickey' => password_hash('donaldduck', PASSWORD_DEFAULT)
);

OMG, the documentation is fairly unclear.

It says we can name "tinyfilemanager.php" whatever we want and 2 lines after that it says to change the "$auth_users"...

So of course I was making this change in the tinyfilemanager.php, whereas it should be made INSIDE the config.php file!!

I solved this in a different way as if your PHP is using OPcache like mine you will need to restart php-fpm or whatever to clear the cache for the updates to config.php to take effect.

Just in case this will help anyone else too.
