Invalid password when trying to install

[gnomee]

Hi all!

I just downloaded Contao core, version 2.9.5 and upload files with ftp and when i want to install and type password like it says in How to Install - pw = typolight, i receive warning Invalid password! I haven't installed contao before, this is my first installation. I set in system/config/localconfig.php $GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['displayErrors'] = true; and i receive those errors..

Solved!

Admin can close or delete topic!

i guess people need to replace this with a new SHA1 hash when they have forgotten the installation password?
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['installPassword'] = 'EnterNewHashHere';

this page has 1 random hash for you:

No, above topic regards to an old Contao 2.9.5 version.

Now in Contao simply deactivate this line in /system/config/localconfig.php by adding a "#".

// this
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['installPassword'] = 'youroldcrypticpassword';
// to that
#$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['installPassword'] = 'youroldcrypticpassword'; 

Now installtool asks for a new password.

The link you offered regards to a password of a backend admin user.
