My guess is that you have a template that is an older version of OSC. The very latest does secure the admin. You will have to set a password on your admin directory by using your webhosts control panel filemanager.

auro Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 If your webhost use Cpanel you can protect the admin folder with "Password Protect Directories".
