Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I've noticed a number of posts on the forum about resetting the admin password through PHPMyAdmin, etc., but none are definitive. Can anyone give a straight step-by-step answer for resetting the Administrator password? Not using any admin contributions. Desperate! :huh: Thanks!!!

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 do you know what the password is? and what do you mean by admin password? if you are not using any admin addons, then there is no admin password.. you need to be a bit more explicit.

241 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Not using any admin contributions. but stock osc has no admin password is it an .htaccess password that is being used.

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 No, I don't know what the password is. This would be the password to the admin control panel for the latest release of OSC (I haven't added any "admin" contributions myself, I was working on this site a couple weeks/months ago and had to move on to another project. I'm back now and can't remember the password.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 ok, what is a link to the page you are trying to get to, then we can determine what you are talking about, as again, the default latest release of osCommerce contains no addons, absolutely notihing for a password.

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 When I was working on the site I would go to http://www.oscommerce.tld/admin/. This would prompt me for a username/password, then it would send me to a control panel to configure the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Ok, I asked him to logon to his host server's control panel and in there remove the protection that is enabled on the admin folder then recreate it with a username and password that can be rememvered. this basically is an htaccess file setting, username and password are forgotten and must need to reset it. not an osCommerce error.

241 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 ok this is an .htaccess password you can remove this file this gives you access again. You can recreate the file using the hosting panel provided by your host you got there first John No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Would this be a .htaccess file within /shop/ or /shop/admin/? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Got it! Ok, there is a .htpasswd in the /shop/admin/ folder. I deleted everything after the username (i.e. the encrypted password), went back to the web page, entered my username, left the password blank, and I'm in. I assume I will be able to reset my password from the control panel now. Thank you!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 It is a method for just gaining access, however it is not what I or John were wanting you to do. No longer giving free advice.
