Locked out of Liferay

[Harper Chalat, geändert vor 8 Jahren.]

I recently attempted to change the manner in which Liferay attempts to authenticate users from authenticating by email to authenticating by User ID. I forgot to write down the admin user ID, so now I can no longer access the control panel to change it back. I have tried adding company.security.auth.type=emailAddress to my portal-ext.properties file, but that did not work, even after restarting the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if I need to provide additional information, please let me know. I am using Liferay 6.2 ga4 Community Edition with Tomcat 7.0.42

Try looking up the userId in the database.

SELECT userId FROM user_ WHERE emailAddress='[e-mail]';
