I've just tried setting up Drupal 5.1 on my hosted server over at 110mb.com, and the installation went smoothly, the database installed fine and the homepage loads up, and it even created the admin account. The problem is, Drupal uses the php mail() function by default, which my account on 110mb.com isn't supported to do since I've set it up to use fsock(). Is there a way to get Drupal to use the fsock() command so that I can get my password and log in? I've looked around, and since I can't administrate, I know I'd need to edit code somewhere, but since I have no skills in PHP, i'm going to need some assistance.

consider the SMTP module for mail since your host doesn't allow phpmail and route mail through your ISP.

Hi,
I've just installed Drupal 5. Istallation was fine, but i have an issue with 'Request new password'
I created a new account as administartor by default. Since then i didn't recieved an confirmation e-mail
with my password details, i didn't copy it at the start. I installed the SMTP module for mail afterwards, but then i noticed that it needs to be activated by the administrator.

So i'm a bit stuck, could someone help please?

change the password in the database for yoour user manually, or re install drupal since its a fresh install.
