We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.
What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:
1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.
2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.
3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Migration of DATA

tmreyno,
You should first backup your data.
Then, you may either update manually the database (through a PHPMYadmin or MySQL Front to connect, or via the MySQL prompt in the server) or re-execute the specific installation step.
If you decide to run the installation step you will need to insert all the data exactly as it was before. I think the password sal is in that form, and if you change it, no one will be able to access the systema again.
You may skip the other steps.
