Can someone tell me how to change the username and password to the admin section for osCommerce 2.2 MS2??

I've looked around but can't seem to find how to do this.

Also is there a way to add additional admin accounts?

Thanks for your help in advance.

There are three ways 1)Thru cPanel password protect directory icon. 2)Modify .htaccess and .htpasswd file and place them thru FTP in admin folder and htpasswd at specified location.
