All seemed fine till customers started reporting to me that there was major issues with not being able to login.

Now it looks like all my passwords arent right anymore.  I can’t send new passwords because they dont work either!!

How did you do the upgrade, Magento Connect or did you unzip the 1.8 to the directory?

If I had to guess I would say your MD5 encryption key changed.

Do new user passwords work ok?

Have you tried changing the password through phpMyAdmin?

You can do so by:-
1. Find the Magento database.

2. Find the admin_user field.

3. Edit the password filed and be sure to choose MD5 before you update it.
