FAQ Tips & Tricks

---

If you have lost the login credentials to access admin:

• In your database, select the administrators and delete the existing administrator.
• Edit the file on your server, youradmin/.htpasswd_oscommerce - delete all content and save the file.
• Edit the file on your server, youradmin/.htaccess - delete the following lines:

##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - BEGIN #####
AuthType Basic
AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool"
AuthUserFile /web/htdocs/YOUR PATH TO ADMIN DIRECTORY/.htpasswd_oscommerce
Require valid-user
##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - END #####

• Then access yoursite/youradmin
• You will see that no admin exists and that you should enter a username and password to create one.
• Do this, make a record of username and password and access again
• Use the username and password you just entered
• After login, go to Configuration → Administrators and activate additional .htaccess protection.
