Unlock password

[pilar92]

Hey!

I'm totally new in this. I can understand a little bit of programming.
I speak spanish, so i can hardly understand the tutorials.

I have a really basic question.
Is about unlocking the password.

Well, i put the wrong password the three times, and now i don't know what to do.

It says: " To remove the lock, open file system/config/localconfig.php in a text editor, find the following line and set it to 0."

But I don't have any idea where is that, where I search this...I am ashamed to ask this, because i know is very basic...but I don't know! :lol: So please, if someone can teach me, i'll be very gratetful.

Another question is why It doesn't work the password by defect, how can i know the password?

the " system/config/localconfig.php" is relative to your Contao installation directory, i.e. the directory where you unzipped the Contao archive downloaded from contao.org

i unzipped in htdocs folder, but when i open the document, there are just comments, and there's not programming :|

try system/config/config.php
I suspect your installation is not allowing writing to that file.
Have you run the system check tool? (see the Contao.org download page for the check tool and the minimum requirements)
Have you run install.php (or is this where you cannot log in to)?
