Admin password recovery


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I'm new with OS commerce and I am having problems retrieving the admin password of a site I am currently working on. I tried to check it on the database itself but the admin password there doesn't work. Is there any way to recover the admin password?

 

Thanks in advance.

osCommerce does not come with an admin security feature. The password in your database would be encrypted if a contribution was installed and that is why it won't work.

 

I am not sure what to tell you.

First I would try and find out how the admin security was set up.

If it is an htaccess file, or done through the web hosts admin panel you can reset it through the admin panel. Usually a link "password protect directory" or something like that.

 

If it is a contribution I would think you need to find out which one and probably "re-install" it, or atleast the database portion.

 

Maybe someone else would have other ideas.
