dschifano Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I just recently had an employee leave the company, therefore need to (for the first time ever), change the website's password. How do I best go about this? Thank You! Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Your Admin password or web site control panel? Also which version do you use ? Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschifano Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi Nic- I'm uncertain when you ask if the password is for my "Admin" or "Website Control Panel". What I can tell you is this: It's the password I plug in myself to enter the website. Once I input the website name into the address bar, a prompt pops up & asks my username & password. This is the one. Secondly, I also am uncertain when you ask "which version I use". Copywrite says "2002" Ponce de Leon; HTTP Server is: Apache; Server OS is: Linux 2.4.20 - 29.7.progeny.9 I hope this helps you understand. If not, please tell me where to look for the info. Thank You! Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbrushmaster Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 if you can login via ftp to your shop the password is in configure.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschifano Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yes, to gain access to the back end of my site, which is to say the administration of it, not to just view it by customers. For me to gain access to view the orders to process them, I must first enter a user name & password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NodsDorf Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If I read your question right you are wanting to know how you change your password to your oscommerce admin panel right? for example http://www.yourwebsite.com/catalog/admin The other would be your hole website which would be the control panel. The backend of your whole website, not just the oscommerce installation. for example http://www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschifano Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Both would be ideal to have (in an effort to not go through this again & know what I'm doing should I need the other at any point in the future), although, your first description is the one I initially was asking about, yes. Thank You. Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You. Dee For osc it depends on what version you are running, unfortunately this is something I never learned how to do myself. I'm running MS 2.2 and it uses .htaccess with encrypted passwords. I know where the files are but just don't know how to change them due to the encryption. If you are running RC 2.2 (the newested rc) the password should be stored in a admin table in the osc installation. I ran into a contribution that allows you to run a file to reset it.. you can find that here: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5857 For your cpanel, it should be fairly easy to find. Go to your website.com/cpanel and look for an option to change the password. My cpanel has it under the preferences tab at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
