Murielcuri Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Can anyone give me a hand helping me how to change to iadmin password? My oscommerce password was set by a friend who configure the whole store and even him don't know how to change it now, as he just used a provisory one when installed the oscommerce files. I've been lookin for something in the forum, but as I'm not a expert in this area, I could'nt find a word that would help me in this situation. Thanks a lot! Muriel
FIMBLE Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 do you know which version of osc you are using? When you log into admin (or go to) do you get a screen with oscommerce logo or a popup prompt? Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
Murielcuri Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Nic. The first screen that appears to me is a blue one with the oscommerce logo on the top left. I have no idea which version i'm using. :huh: thanks for your help Muriel
Murielcuri Posted September 2, 2008 Author Posted September 2, 2008 Oh, I've looked around and find out that it's 2.2 MS-2d
FIMBLE Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 OK you can change this fro your WEB SITE control panel. Log in and look for password protect directories, navigate to the admin folder and there you can change the password there.
