Can not access my oscommerce admin

[newgeek9999]

Hi, I am not really sure what I did but am having trouble accessing my oscommerce admin area, I had to manually change my password in the /includes/configure.php file to gain access to my store homepage (it was sending the same error message below), however, I can not gain access to the oscommerce admin area now.

 

I even disabled the password checking .htaccess in the /admin area with no luck...

My /admin/includes/functions/database.php file is set to "false" it was true but I changed it in an attempt to correct the 1st issue...

 

I would greatly apprieciate amy help in resetting this area???

 

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/modshop/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 17

Unable to connect to database server!

Keep in mind that there are TWO configure.php files, where you have to enter the correct information to access your database! One is located in catalog/includes and the other in admin/includes and you have to change them both!

 

Oh, and enable again the password protection of the administration directory! ;)

if after having made the changes to the password in the two configure.php files you still get the message Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: then change the setting in the two configure.php files for persistent connections from true to false

 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

I tried both of these suggestions and I still get the warning message. Could it be anything else?
