Change Admin Passwords osCommerce

[scrap4less]

Hi I'm wondering if anyone can help me to change my Admin Password in Oscommerce?

Yours is version prior to RC1.

 

As oscommerce admin folder was password protected prior to this and now its thru Db fileds that it is protected.

 

If oscommerce 2.2 the just go thru cpanel password protect directory and chage else You need to did into DB thru PhpMyadmin and remove present entries.

 

Once code finds no entry for admin will allow some entry to be made.

 

look into this code part to get some idea.

 

case 'create':

$check_query = tep_db_query("select id from " . TABLE_ADMINISTRATORS . " limit 1");

 

if (tep_db_num_rows($check_query) == 0) {

$username = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['username']);

$password = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']);

 

tep_db_query('insert into ' . TABLE_ADMINISTRATORS . ' (user_name, user_password) values ("' . $username . '", "' . tep_encrypt_password($password) . '")');

$admins_check_query = tep_db_query("select id from " . TABLE_ADMINISTRATORS . " limit 1");

if (tep_db_num_rows($admins_check_query) < 1) {

$messageStack->add(TEXT_CREATE_FIRST_ADMINISTRATOR, 'warning');

}

 

also this code tells that if no entry then it allows to add one.
