TYPO3 available.
—
- Open the backend login page and use the default “reset password” function.
- Change the password under “ADMIN TOOLS → Install”.
- Open the Install Tool directly and create a new admin account under “Maintenance”.

- Yes, both backend and frontend passwords are saved in encrypted form, but this requires the “Introduction Package”.
- Only the backend passwords are encrypted.
- Only the frontend passwords are encrypted.
- No, both backend and frontend passwords are stored unencrypted in the database, because it must be possible to look up a password in plain text, e.g. if a user has forgotten it.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.
2.2.9 Certain functions in TYPO3 are not executed satisfactorily. Where do you find the PHP configuration in order to review it? (1)
