piperdame Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Hi. Just getting started with my ecomm site. Added osCommerce, then had a few weeks delay getting back to the project. I seem to have forgotten my admin password. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling osCommerce, but it seems my original password is stored somewhere. Embarrassing way to start this project. Can anyone help with advice to recover my password?

piperdame Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Ah, I see the instructions now. Will give'r a try.
piperdame Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Hi again. Tried putting this in the top level folder, and also tried putting it in the admin folder. Put in www.mywebsite.com/reset.php (and www.mywebsite.com/admin/reset.php) in my browser, and all I get is a broken link error. Does this mean it didn't find a password to reset? Any other suggestions out there?

Any other suggestions out there? From the install instructions: This contribution is very simple to use, The script is automatic, you either get the success message, or you get the cannot connect message! How can you get a broken link error? Your website is not there yet? The only thing this script does is remove the data in the table administrators with this sql command you could do in phpMyAdmin too: TRUNCATE TABLE `administrators`; Have you tried getting into your admin again? If the script ran you can enter a new user name and password again.
