burt Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Use phpmyadmin to truncate (empty) the administrator table in your database. Do not delete the table. Simply empty it. Do this in your hosting control panel. If you do not know how, ask your host to do it. Then visit your admin page and you will be asked to input a new username and password. Now login using the new username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 @@Pascal-Georges If your shop is 2.3, deleting the database table will work. Otherwise it won't. Look in your includes directory to see if there is a template_top.php file. If there is, then it is a 2.3 shop.

burt Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ignore the advice of the previous poster - deleting the table will not work. You need to empty the table using phpmyadmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimixer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Additional to what @@burt suggested - to empty and not delete table administrators - it could be that you - or any other user who has the same issue - has htaccess protection added In this case, you need to do following 1) Open file catalog/admin/.htaccess and delete following lines ##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - BEGIN ##### AuthType Basic AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool" AuthUserFile /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/admin/.htpasswd_oscommerce Require valid-user ##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - END ##### 2) Open file catalog/admin/.htpasswd_oscommerce and delete all content of the file, not the file itself My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterward, I gave (always with the phone-help from my space-provider) a new ID and password and saved. Unfortunately, it did not work : I still cannot acess my shop as admin. Can You be so kind to help me further ? Thanks PGR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 You need to EMPTY the database table called "administrators". That is all. Then visit your login page to add a new admin. No one can help you more without access to your admin area and your phpmyadmin. Please do not post links to these in the forum. Find someone suitably qualified to help at http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/forum/79-commercial-support-enquiries/ It should cost you very little.

I apologize for any confusion it may have caused. But, again, emptying it will only work in 2.3.

GMDave Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 How about a password reset function? You have one for users already, just leverage that. Also, I find it odd that you have a separate table for administrators, why not just make it an attribute of a user record? Obviously I have not studied the schema before I throw that out there, so it may not be feasible, but password reset is a best practice, and you need to have one for your admins.
