Admin password

[masoesa]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search but couln't find the answer.

 

Somehow I lost the login/pwd from the admin. I clicked Password forgotten? and tried 3 times but it doesn't work. How can I enter as an admin?

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

Most hosts let you manage folder passwords on their control panel, usually the Web Protect option or Password Protect Directories option.

 

There will be a user and a password set up. Select the admin folder to protect, delete the current user, add a new user and password. This will update the settings on your server, I always find with mine after changing the admin password I have to go back and reselect the the option to protect that folder. Exactly how to do this will differ between hosts, so check their instructions.

 

Hope that helps

Nope, my host doesn't offer this. Anyway, I looked up the name for the admin in the sql db and I could retrieve the pwd. Thanks.
