Does anyone know how PageKit CMS stores the admin password? I've installed it, created the account and then the password is wrong. In the database the password is hashed so I have to decrypt it or create another one using the same cryptography method.

NB: The reset password link is useless as I don't have mailing on this server.

The password is:

$2y$10$74yJFPijNzIA0ZJY4Ggy5eCRzRMhaCuj2Xw2S8fvd1yE9zZrxRU0y

and it's supposed to be "testtest".

    Well, it's not 'testtest', but you could use an online tool to generate a new hash for whatever password you want, and replace the value directly to the database. – 1615903 Jul 06 '16 at 05:09
  • Yes! That's what I mean, because I have to know the the hashing type to generate a new one with the same hash and replace the existing one. – medk Jul 07 '16 at 10:05

The "password" looks like bcrypt format and that is a hash not encryption. The difference is that a hash is one-way, that is non reversible. The only choices are to run a password cracking program but the chances of success are really bad, update the password hash if possible or re-install.
