PrestaShop & PHP develop BLOG

The administrator password of prestashop use md5 for password encryption, it’s use a long string called “cookie key” plus your password to generate password data.

We need copy the cookie key in config/setting.inc.php.

My cookie key is _COOKIE_KEY_ = Q8ofSVQ9j6biVE2TnsFkKrhGZL04s3ahUzYLUWYHxL3N686JLSBiX7uL

So for me:

UPDATE `prestashop`.`ps_employee` SET `passwd` = md5('Q8ofSVQ9j6biVE2TnsFkKrhGZL04s3ahUzYLUWYHxL3N686JLSBiX7uL' + '123456') WHERE `ps_employee`.`id_employee` =1 LIMIT 1

ps_employee is administrator table name, if you set other table prefix, need change herer.

id_employee = 1 This is the first administrator, if you want change other one, just replace the id here.
