    Default Re: Admin Password required to proceed with upgrade Nightmare

    Hi,

    had a similar problem when upgrading with my admin password which might be worth a try (here)

    Basically, change the password from within the admin in your old shop to 'password' then try the upgrade again,
    using 'password' when prompted.
    I believe any 'special' characters in your old password may get confused/lost with any change of db charsets.

    Hope this helps

    Default Re: Admin Password required to proceed with upgrade Nightmare

    I ran out of time to continue working on this and I've only just got back to it.

    Thanks to the post above I set the new database password to admin
    via phpmyadmin and then managed to run the upgrade Yay!

    So it seems I was using the correct password the whole time and
    Zen Cart just didn't like the special characters that were in there.

    My problem now is the database I just upgraded is out of date and I'll
    need to move the current one over and do this all over again and try
    and remember where I was up to elsewhere. :\

    But at least I'm over this hurdle and can crack on. But that can
    all wait until tomorrow now.

    Thanks to all that took the time to post. ;)
