Admin Password or Username not working


Guest

Recommended Posts

Posted

My admin password/and or username is not working. I had my host setup OSC for me, and specified the username and password that I wanted for the admin. My login attepts to the admin are unsuccessful. Is there a way I can change the username and password via the files? I.E., I attempted to edit the .htaccess and .password files under catalog/admin, but with no success. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

It depends on what exactly is protecting your admin tool. For instance it could be in the PHP code for the site itself with the password encrypted in the database, or it could be through .htaccess, or some other mechanism your host controls.

 

Can't you just ask your webhost to reset the password since they're the ones that set it up?

Do, or do not. There is no try.
