I just installed Moodle and there was a fatal error right before I was able to select an admin login. I tried the trick listed in the instructions, login as admin and password admin, but that did not work. How can I reset this?

If you can access the database directly (eg using phpMyAdmin) then you can manually create your admin account. Check out:

Hello Shane,
I've tried the solution you highlighted in the post http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=19561&parent=92786
but with no luck.
I even tried deleting my database and re-populating it via the installation process but this too proved futile (but then again i did manually fill in and create the config.php file from config-dist.php: could this be the cause). I don't get a screen asking me to set a password for the admin account and instead the installation takes me directly to the moodle frontpage.
When i try to login, no error is displayed and i get the frontpage once again telling me that i am not logged in. This happens even from the admin login page.
I am running a Fedora Core 3 machine with Php 4.3.9 and Apache 2.0.52
Any help appreciated
