Password Help Please!!!!

[Guest]

Hi, I need to change my password but have no idea how. Could someone here point me to the right direction? My oscommerse was installed by someone else so I still don't know how to do certain things on it. Please help me?

 

Thanks so much in advance,

without knowing what the other individual installed, kind of tough. it could be from the host control panel, or could be a contribution they installed. oscommerce is not packaged with an admin password/program. thus, point us to your url of the admin and we can possibly give you some help in what you need to do.

[Guest]

Oh Thank you sooooo much for replying! Here is the url:

 

http://www.buckeyebottoms.com/store/setup/

 

Any ideas?

 

I'll help you help me! :D

You have an .htaccess file password protecting that directory. Delete it via your control panel and then set a new one.

Hi, Thanks so much for helping me out here... I found the .htaccess file file. Along with: .htaccess1 and .htpasswd and .htpasswd1

 

Is it normal to have all those?

 

Should I only remove the .htaccess?

 

And the big question: How do I set a new one?

 

I would really appreciate any help in this!

 

Thank you so much in advance,

if you have access to the shell where you can see those files, then you can reset the password. open the .htaccess file and it will tell you the user name required along with the filename for where the password is stored. then you can to htpasswd filename username

 

else if you use a cpanel, just delete the file fromthere and recreate one

This is what it says in the .htaccess file:

 

AuthUserFile /www/buckeyebottoms/store/setup/.htpasswd

AuthName "Access"

AuthType Basic

<limit GET>

require user earthseedlings

</limit>

 

This is what it says in the .htaccess1 file:

 

AuthUserFile /www/buckeyebottoms/mysql/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName Protected

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>

require valid-user

</Limit>

 

This is what it says in the .htpasswd file:

 

earthseedlings:MM/Lk2jF5RFPU

 

And this is what it says in the .htpasswd1 file:

 

azadehearth:v6WHAA7ogtIvg

 

 

Which ones or one do I delete? And how do I re-create one? Do I name a file the same as that one? And what do I type in the file? I am so sorry that I am so new to all of this.

 

Thanks again so much!

send a request to your host to change the password for you. then have them let you know what it is.

 

basically, if you go to your admin section from what i see, you use earthseedlings as the username and then u need to enter in whatever password your other person used to create it

[Guest]

Yes, I enter earthseedlings and then my password. But I really need to change it. I will contact my host then. If that's the only way. Thanks so so so much for your help though. I really appreciate it.

[Guest]

do u know your password? and do you have access to the *nix shell?

if so do a command: man --htaccess

[Guest]

Yes I do know my password. I just need to change it so that I am the only one who knows it. What is the the *nix shell??

 

Thanks,
