Hi all -
I have successfully installed Drupal 5.3 and i have created my first account and a password was not sent to my web-based email address. Therefore I cannot access my account to customize the website.
This software was installed on localhost on my computer of the following web address: http://localhost/drupal-5.3/
In php.ini file:
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
php version is 5.2.
My laptop have been installed SMTP server and i was told to configure it on php.ini file (how do i do that?) and set admin password on creation which i have.
At this stage, I have entered a password for UID 2 in the user table manually in MD5 hashed password and I have entered the correct username and password on the drupal homepage and drupal has produced an error message stating: username not been activated or blocked.
How do i resolve this?
Would anyone is kind enough to help me out on this with guidance?
Thank you for your time.

Why is this urgent if it's a new install on your local pc?
Why not just reinstall, and take note of the password during the install process... and change it immediately?

Agreed, during the account creation you can create a password immediately.
If you are installing this on a local machine you must have a mailserver set up on that machine. php.ini would need the information to connect to a SMTP server.

This should have been created as a forum topic. Closing issue.
