everyth5 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I just tried to get into my Admin. Seems the password has been erased or something because I have typed it in several times and nothing happens. Were is the password stored and how do you change it or retrieve it when it is forgotten?

jpweber Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The admin password is not stored in the sql database. You need to go to your web hosting control panel and use their Password or Directory Protection link to re-protect the admin folder and that will alow you in.

ely2c Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I didn't think you needed a pasword to get into the admin. unless you have set up a secure access to the admin folder cia your host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpweber Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yes, you need a login and password for admin. It's highly recommended that you get SSL and secure your admin, I might add, though.
