fresh install of barber template... frontend demo theme works fine but can't log in to admin "password doesn't match or no account yet error" , password and username are correct according to config.php !? tried to change as well in phpadmin but still no good.Any help appreciated

You can change the joomla password as follows:
docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_recover_or_re...ur_admin_password%3F

Thanks for the help… As I mentioned I’ve tried most of these methods
I re-subscribed to joomlaplate because the template I had previously Kazumi used warp 7.
Hence the change.
I didn’t forget the password it should be still & is “root” from a fresh install. I just don’t understand why I’m locked out from an initial install. I’m using mamp on my local computer to test.
Now I’m concerned about using template on my host server as I didn’t have this problem with quickstart theme using your service previously.

'root' is the database-user.

I prefer a new install. Then the User is JoomlaAdmin und your password.
