Admin Password

First of all, rename your 'admin' folder to something unique (not shopadmin or admin2), and that will make ti harder for people to fin dit. Then in admin/includes/configure.php change the two references to /admin/ to /newname/

 

When you have done that go to your web hosting control panel and look for a feature called Password Protection or Directory Protection and use that to password protect that folder.
