Lost Admin Password
From Phoenix User Guide
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.
