Question

Hi Guys I have inherited an Umbraco site but I am getting a splash screen informing me that

"Looks like there's still work to do".

I am getting three errors in the console which my have somthing to do with this;

Microsoft SQL Server is telling me that there is content on the site

I am also struggling to log into the admin area.

could this be an error connecting to the database?

I have checked the credentials and all seems good, no error messages are being displayed.

My admin credentials are also correct as

I have reset my password hash

set userEnabled to True

and tried to log in with other users

Below is the failed login page I am being redirected to;
