help with admin login

[tominpa]

I bought a developed website and it has a login screen that I have to enter my login and password before I get to the admin section and catalog area. I have switched hosting services and dont know how to get rid of the redirect for the login area. please let me know if this is an option "box" that I can remove

 

Thanks

Tom

try looking for a link to a .htpasswrd in the catalog/admin/.htaccess file.

looks something like this

co

 

AuthUserFile /path_to .htpassword/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic

<limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</limit>

there will also be a .htpasswrd file you can delete or edit for your own password.

here is a site to help generate your own
