Followed exactly and it changed the password because i use the new password to login on the website but still will now allow me to login the admin panel.
I noticed that the usertype is "deprecated" what does that mean? I tried to change to Super Adminisrator, Administrator, super user but no luck. Also the Block is set to 0.
Hi although this post very old, but landed here to find answer for my issue.
But here is what worked for me, might it can help someone else if similar issue.
I Changed Host provider & newer host have PHP 7
Simply i switched back to old version of php 5.6 = joomla 2.5
Second see in your Configuration.php file Somewhere line 56 and 57
public $log_path = 'F:\xampp\htdocs\homeprix\logs';
public $tmp_path = 'F:\xampp\htdocs\homeprix\tmp';
Directory permission has correct path?
Yes I tried from phpMyAdmin all option change password etc. nope that did not worked
