goodwinpro Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I want to be able to manage the ADMIN user access. I found the correct user access table in the database (via phpMyAdmin) to make the changes. However, the passwords are encoded so I can't make a new password. And I can't change existing passwords Example Admin Access...... Username: frankG Password: 6b283bb060c269432d08ac33b47a337c0a40035d This is obviously NOT the password that frankG types to log in. Any thoughts on decoding this password AND/OR creating passwords that are encoded like this for use with OSCommerce? I'm thinking there had to be an interface somewhere that was used to originally create this password. But I did not set this system up, and I can't find it. Please help. Thanks
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I know for customers passwords osC uses md5hash and adds two characters to the password and then encodes it. Those two characters are random as it doesn't matter what they are as it just removes the same two characters when unencoding it. IF (and that is a BIG IF) the admin does the same then you can create a password for a customer account and drop it into the admin and it will work. If it doesn't then you are in TROUBLE!!!! and have to set it back using your backup that you obviously saved before doing this. OR Just delete FrankG as an Admin user and create a new one .... OR even better create a new user THEN delete FrankG just to be safe.

Great... I would love to. However... that's a big part of the problem. I don't know where the interface is to add/delete/modify user info. I can modify customer info, but not admin info. Thoughts? Thanks Rob
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 What version of osC are you using and is this the RC admin login or a MS2.2 contribution?
goodwinpro Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 The comments at the top of my Index page say.... /* $Id: index.php,v 1.19 2003/06/27 09:38:31 dgw_ Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2006 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ So I'm assuming it's 1.19. Also... Server OS: Linux 2.6.15-26-server Database: MySQL 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.3-log HTTP Server: Apache PHP Version: 5.1.2 (Zend: 2.1.0) "RC admin login or a MS2.2 contribution" - I don't know. I think it's all just a stock install. Thanks
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 When you try to log into your admin does an osCommerce page appear or a Windows box in the middle of the screen?
