I am unable to log into drupal using the administrative username/password given to me by the person who set up my website. I am currently trying to move my site over to another host but the new hosting people had this to say reguarding a module that was added:

"We have imported your database and corrected your connection string. Now, your Web site is currently giving error as ‘Page not found’. This appears to be related to a module you have added to Drupal called 'Clean URLs', you may want to disable this module or troubleshoot how to correct it. I was able to connect database at http://pine1.fatcow.com/connectdb.php without any issue. Please check the script from your end."

Is there a way to reset the username/password? Right now they are telling me that we are a t a stand still without being able to log into Drupal.

It sounds like they've either forgotten to copy across the .htaccess file else they've not got mod_rewrite enabled in their apache instance. Either way it sounds like they haven't a clue of what they're doing...

To manually turn off clean urls just edit the clean_url entry in the variables table, change it to: s:1:"0";

IGNORE that you can't log in, this is because Drupal is expecting clean urls to work and so is redirecting you to a page which it cannot process. Once you turn them off, obviously this won't be a problem any more.

They'll probably need to truncate all the cache tables (ALL tables like cache_xxxx)

Good luck...
