Can't log into admin

I#ve followd the steps proposed by 'Ajeh' but still can't login.

'Error: Sorry, there is no match for that email address and/or password.'

Any idea what's going wrong?

thx for your help!

Now login with username: Admin Password: admin
That will work.

I've tried all the messages and It still says there is an error. Any other suggestions?

My front page is blank, also... but I will figure that out after I can get into the admin area.

Thanks for any assistance!

Update: I decided that I was looking to hard and the answer was probably really simple.

So, I went back to the simplest thing to do, I re-uploaded some of the core files and viola, it's working again. :clap:

I just installed zen cart v1.3.8a and can't login into admin. It keeps refreshing.

I have rebuilt the Admin table using phpMyAdmin as Ajeh pointed,

Code:

---

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS admin;
CREATE TABLE admin (
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  admin_name varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_email varchar(96) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_pass varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_level tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (admin_id),
  KEY idx_admin_name_zen (admin_name),
  KEY idx_admin_email_zen (admin_email)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

---

and,

Code:

---

INSERT INTO admin VALUES (1, 'Admin', '[email protected]', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

---

But still I couldn't login into the Admin.

Is there something that I missed?

Close your browser sessions ... clear cache and cookies ... open new browser and it should be working ...

This happens to me periodically in FireFox ... :lamo:

Thanks Ajeh for trying to help,

Unfortunately it doesn't work even when I used IE. I still can't login into my admin. I reinstalled zen cart and it stills the same.

I'm confuse :no:

Check the two configure.php files on the server in:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

ensure that both are using the same database information ...

Then, go to phpMyAdmin on your domain Control Panel and browse the admin table to ensure that you have the right entry for the admin login ... remember everything is case sensative ...

If you are not positive on the login and password, then run the following in the SQL:

Code:

---

ROP TABLE IF EXISTS admin;
CREATE TABLE admin (
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  admin_name varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_email varchar(96) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_pass varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_level tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (admin_id),
  KEY idx_admin_name_zen (admin_name),
  KEY idx_admin_email_zen (admin_email)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

---

Then to set the login to:
Admin
admin

use this:

Code:

---

INSERT INTO admin VALUES (1, 'Admin', '[email protected]', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

OK, I just figured out something when I removed the .htaccess file from the root public_html directory. I installed ZenCart v1.3.5 before and moved all the files to the root (public_html). So that it becomes 'mysite.com' and not 'mysite.com/zenstore'.

Last Monday, I bought an addon domain and installed ZenCart v1.3.8a into the directory 'public_html/mynewstore/'. I also include the same .htaccess for the "URL" reason.

I just removed both .htaccess files and finally I can login into the admin page. There must something wrong with my .htaccess file or maybe I should move the 1.3.5 version back to it's directory.

Place take a look at my .htaccess file code and let me know what is the right thing that should be done.

Thanks Ajeh.

Incredible! I was just able to recover my Admin Username on my local (development) XAMPP based system. In the course of doing Zillion things, I forgot the Username completely (it wasn't admin or Admin): I was able to resend the password to my email address, but not the Username. Only the above procedure by Ajeh saved me from having to re-install and re-configure everything from scratch.

Thank you, Ajeh!
