Thanks. I found the error. The admin that was transferred from the old DB did not have a PASSWORD encrypted password. If other people have this problem just keep in mind, when helping them that they need to run the password they manually add to the DB through the PASSWORD encryption.

Thanks for your reply! The guestbook itself works without problems, so the password that I set to connect to the database is OK. It is the password that is stored inside the database, to log onto the admin page, that doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Hi, My guestbook was hacked, and I was advised to upgrade to 2.3.1 in cpanel. I did so, but obviously the database wasn't updated (the php was). After some manipulation (let me know if I should explain) I managed to upgrade the database via cpanel, so that it now has 10 tables. All the php pages seem to be version 2.3.1 as well. The problem is that I cannot sign in in the admin area ("Invalid username or password. Please try again.") with the new password that I set in the database (nor with the old one). my book_auth table looks like this: >ID smallint(5) No username varchar(60) No password varchar(60) No session varchar(32) No last_visit int(11) No 0 Any clues about what might be wrong? The guestbook is here: http://www.askerturn.no/gjestebok/ (sorry that it's in Norwegian...)
