Admin Password

[infin8]

How do i get back so it asks for a log on for my admin my page,

currently it just goes straight to the admin page without any log on

 

Thanks in advance

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.
