Hi

 

How do you change the username and password used to log into the admin section.

 

Thanks

Most hosting accounts have any admin area which has a section called 'Password Protect Directories' (or something along these lines).

Go to this area, then select the 'admin' folder, and add a new user (or change password for your current user).

 

If you hosting account does not have this option then you'll need to recreate the .htaccess file (in the admin folder) and the .htpasswd file.

 

Heres a tool for generating new .htaccess and .htpasswd files

(If you have no idea was an .htaccess file is search google, it is not related to oscommerce, so you probably wont find too many answers here)
