I am a total newbie with DNN. I installed DNN 9.6.1 on my local Windows PC 3 days ago and have only had one major issue. Every morning I attempt to login to my DNN site using the user name "host" and I'm told the password is incorrect. I am certain the password is correct and I have made no changes to the host account or password. So (1): Why is the host password being reset every night?
I researched how to add a new superuser by registering a new user and then changing the superuser flag in the SQLExpress database. But when I attempt to access the database using SQL Management Studio I can't find a DNN database. In the Databases folder I have "System Databases" and "Database Snapshots". In "Databases>System Databases>" I have "Master", "model", "msdb" and "tempdb". None of those DB's contain the DNN tables. So (2) How can I access the DNN database using SQL Management Studio?
My web.config file has the following connection string:
I guess that you have a database file that is not attached in your SQL Server. What you could do is:
Or start the installation from scratch - create a database before you start, assign the (dbowner) permissions to the app pool and select the database in the installation process (or use nvQuickSite).
Happy DNNing! Michael
