ckrueger Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 My designer came back from the Land Of The Lost and has given me (allegedly) everything I need to access my store, including my OSCommerce username and password which he created. Cool! Now how do I change it? I really don't want him to have access since we're not a very friendly terms anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The admin area of your site is protected by a .htaccess file. You'll need to log on to your site's control panel, and somewhere in there (not all control panels are created equal), there will be a place where you can modify the password. I wish I could be more specific, but not knowing what control panel your provider uses, I can't give the specific clicks it takes to get you where you need to go... :blush: All I can do is point you in the general direction. :lol: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

ckrueger Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm confused, my site is with OSCommerce? or do you mean the server site?

germ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, I know for sure the .htaccess protection is in place on the server. After you get past that, there may be an osCommerce password as well, I can't tell "from the outside looking in". The only site I've done doesn't have osCommerce password protection, so I don't know how to change that, if indeed you have one. Hopefully the clouds have parted at least a little... :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

ckrueger Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Geez I feel like a big dummy! I went to my server account and there it was, password protected :-) Thanks!

germ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If it helps any... On my site, I have to get to what they call the "File Manager" (Not to be confused with the "File Manager" within osC!!!). When I get a listing of all my files, there is a link at the top that says "Protect". That is where I would go to alter passwords in .htaccess files. Yours may be similar. ;) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
