Where is admin password located in the catalog files?

[Guest]

I search the files but cannot find any answer to a simple question: What file holds the username and password for my admin to make changes. I have tried config.php but that only holds the username and password for mysql database. Please help! I have orders I cannot get to.

 

Much thanx! Joyce c\_/

If you're using 2.2MS2, the file you're after is called .htpasswd, and it resides in your catalog/admin directory. Note that the password is stored here in encrypyted format, not plain text, so you'll need to modify the contents of this file using a text editor. Use a .htpasswd generator, such as the one found here: http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/

 

If you're using any of the release candidates (RC1, RC2), I'm afraid I can't give you any assistance, as I haven't used either of these versions.

 

Hope this helps,

admin is protected thru password protect folder concept.This need an htaccess and htpasswd files.

 

You can use control panel password protect icon or there are some site that generates for You these files and then YOu can use these.
