      Have you set up the mail server connection correctly (Settings >> Server >> Server Settings)? When you send a test mail, is this arriving as expected?

        How did you setup the website - did you use DNN installwizard, where you was able to specify username and password or did you use a preconfigured website from a hosting provider? In the second case, he should have provided you with a default password, you need to change first.

          I got already developed DNN website, I just hosted on Azure server and I changed password from database directly in aspnet_Membership table(As i did not have login password).

          What could be done in this case?

            How did you change the password directly in the database? Passwords are stored as Hashes, so how did you create the hash witout the UI?

              For all those who is facing the same issue,

              Just copy paste password and passwordsalt from any existing db and changed in aspnet_Membership

                Note: this will only work, if both IIS websites as using same machinekey in web.config file.

                  The better way is: create a (dummy) user on this website, and copy the hash and salt over the host user (or check IsSuperuser for this user in the Users table, and then deactivate the original host user). Make sure you restart the application pool after making any changes in the database to fresh-up the cache.

                  Happy DNNing!

                    I second Michael's suggestion to create a new user and promote it to superuser. If you are able to login as a superuser, you can do this on the Users page. If not, you can edit the IsSuperuser field for the new user in the Users table in the database.
