To me it looks like a file permission issue, please check the write permissions of your ##config.php##.
Wen you try to edit the file and it won't save the changes, it is likely you have no write permissions.

You must adjust the file permissions according to the permission group you're in.

  1. Check if your ##config/config.php## has ((/Doc/English/FilePermissions write permissions)). 
  1. Set write permission. 
  1. Add your recovery_password hash.
  1. Save & upload the file.
  1. Remove the write permission for the file again.
