Guest Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Aftab, Using phpmyadmin in your hosting control panel, truncate the administrators table. Then, log back into your admin area, it will instruct you to create a NEW admin username and password. Do as instructed and log in as normal. If you have enabled .htaccess protection, you will need to edit the /admin/.htaccess file and remove the protection line. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftabn10 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 DunWeb, thanks that seems to have worked, but i am now getting the following error: Warning: main(C:/xampp/htdocs/oscommercenew/catalog/includes/classes/action_recorder.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/29/d116169/htdocs/mdz/md/admin/includes/classes/action_recorder.php on line 13 Not sure why, but i am guessing might have something to do with what i have defined in the config file.

Barbara Carrera Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi, DunWeb at all I've followed your instruction but I'm still getting the "A user name and password are being requested by http://www.xxx.com. The site says: "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool" error I found the right database & trucated the password. Then you say "Then, log back into your admin area, it will instruct you to create a NEW admin username and password. Do as instructed and log in as normal" Unfortunately, I'm unable to do so because when I try to log into osCommerce (Online Merchant Administration Tool) get the pop up password box. I have previously enabled the extra password security measure from within the Admin dashboard. I also tried the solution with inserting the line into administrators table from within the phpMyAdmin. While the new details were successfullyinserted that didn't work either. Any suggestions how to change the apssword will be much appreciated.

Barbara Carrera Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi Satish, I've tried the script but unfortunately it did not work. I'm getting the following error message: Warning: require_once(includes/configure.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx_store/reset.php on line 6 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/configure.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lsphp-5.2.17/lib/php') in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx_store/reset.php on line 6 It looks like it may be having problems with accessing appropriate files and directories under v 2.3.1? Any suggestions? Cheers Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Carrera Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi All, Should this http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/379316-lost-access-to-my-control-panel-cant-log-in/ also work for me? I've tried all that to no avail ... when I try login to my backend Administration Tool it just pops up the login box? Any help appreciated Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
