I am trying to reset the admin password on a cs cart installation. I tried some advices found on internet (set password using md5 in database), but none worked. The CS-Cart version is 4.2.3. I think they changed to an encryption based on salt.

  • If they're using MD5 for passwords, I'm seriously concerned about the security of this product. That's so easy to crack it's ridiculous. – tadman Apr 23 '17 at 09:42
  • No, they used md5 in previous versions. I see they have a salt for every user. – Alex Apr 23 '17 at 15:31
  • They can salt that all day long, it doesn't change the fact that MD5 is trash and worthless for security. – tadman Apr 23 '17 at 23:48
