egliteaw Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have tried removing the admin accounts in the database to try and force a reset but this is not working. I also tried creating a new admin in the database table....also no joy. Is there anyway to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure to clear your browser cache before doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egliteaw Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 That was the weird thing. When I went back to admin it didn't ask to create a new admin. It only gave a pop-up asking for the old user id and password. I'll try clearing the cache again and will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ecartz Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Are you using the htpasswd? You might need to move the .htaccess and .htpasswd_oscommerce files out of the admin directory (move them rather than deleting them in case you need to move them back). Always back up before making changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egliteaw Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 That may actually be the issue. I am using the HTaccess and HTpasswd files. I will try this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this kind of security is the best of worlds. Changing that, it is only allowed via (S)FTP access to the corresponding file. It is a good security measurement.
