When you try to login, you should see a "forgot password" link (yourdomain/entry/passwordrequest)
What happened was my host provider hit the "install button" before I could set up a user/password on the install page. At least im pretty sure that happened during the help I got. Anyway I think the file has no user/password. Do you know which file I need to access to edit the admin user/pass?
A user account is created during the initial install. If you can't request a new password through Vanilla, just re-install and fill the form out yourself this time

You would have to create a new user, and navigate to
GDN_Useron phpmyadmin ( most hosts should have this ). Then you need to select the row of your new user, edit then changing the value ofAdminto1There was an error rendering this rich post.
It is better not to use installer like simple scripts. They can have outdated version, without security fixes, you have no idea how well it handles the installation.
One memorable one had a bad fork, and the guy was asking how to get rid of a random feature, which wasn't an addon.
grep is your friend.
Hey thanks a million. I deleted the first vanilla install and did a clean install and I am rolling. That took care of the problem. Thanks for a quick response, much appreciated!
