Hello.

I've forgot my admin password...

And I've made another mistake.

My web2py is on Webfaction and I've reset the password with the Pythonanywere instructions:

Changing your Web2py Admin Password

Open a Bash console and cd to your web2py directory. You'll know you're in the right place if there's a file called parameters_443.py in the directory.
Run this: python -c "from gluon.main import save_password; save_password(raw_input('admin password: '),443)"
Reload your webapp.

Now if the admin page is don't load anymore :

403 FORBIDDEN

Soemone can give me a hand?

Thanks.

Hi!
Does parameters_443.py exist in web2py dir?
Check permissions - does web2py have access to this file?

Ciao Ivan.

I've solved it restoring the web2py folder from a backup and doing the wright process for changing the password.

In admin/private there's a file hosts.deny. if you type the wrong password too many times your address will be recorded here. You can only login again after removing this line, (or the file)
