Wrong data entered: killed access to Admin Panel

[Foncu2015]

By mistake, I entered "1" as data in Admin-Panel_Configuration_Web_Session Cookie Management_Cookie-Lifetime. As result of this, I am no longer able to login in Admin Panel, as it disconnects almost inmediately after entering, not allowing time for entering the right data. Grateful for any indication on where I can modify the data to the default 3,600 to make the Admin Panel accessible again.

Best regards,

You can change the value directly in the database by running the following query:

UPDATE core_config_data SET value=3600 WHERE path='admin/security/session_cookie_lifetime';

You can use a tool such as phpMyAdmin or the mysql command-line interface to execute the query.

If you need to change the cookie lifetime affecting the frontend, you also need to run this query:

UPDATE core_config_data SET value=3600 WHERE path='web/cookie/cookie_lifetime';

 I hope this helps!
