I just instal the Oscommerce and if I try to login in the "login administratod" I can not login whith my name and password.

I check in the BD "mYsQL" "Administrator" and change the user and administrator pasword and retry to login whith new user name and new pasword but I can not login.

 

Ther's the followin message:

 

Error: Invalid administrator login attempt.

YOu cannot just change the password on database like that. If you forgot it or cannot login, simply go to your database and delete your admin login account so there are no admins in the database. Then go to your admin www.yoursite.com/adminfolder/. It will ask you to create an administrator login and password and problem is fixed.

 

Backup your database before you delete the account. BACKUPS BACKUPS BACKUPS!
