How do I find what my password was. I looked in the database but cannot find where it is stored. Does anyone know how to change it or to find out what I made it as. I cannot get into the back end. Please any help would be great :'( :blink: :-"

Depends on which version of osc you are using.

 

1) Go to your ISPs admin area for your site.

 

2) Click on the icon for Mysql, then find the link for phpmyadmin, it might be hidden away at the bottom but not on all admin sites. If you can’t find this, please consult your ISP's help desk.

 

3) In some cases, you may have to choose which database your OSC tables are located on. If this is the case, please choose using the dropdown box.

 

If there is a table called Administrators you can reset the password. google this forum for instructions.

 

Otherwise you admin area is secured using htaccess.

 

This can be set from youy ISPs admin area for your site. Look for password protect directory or terminology like that.
