Zen GoDaddy Set up???? Help

[Monmon]

Hi all,
First Post, so it might not be in the right place or something already covered.... but oh well.
I have both domain and hosting through GoDaddy (before I joined this forum which seem to be mostly against thier hosting). I have only started my web design venture yesterday...

I am new to the website thing, so please help, without all the technical mumbo jumbo talk
I have successfully uploaded Zen Cart 1.3.8a.1, and can view it through my website. The only thing is I can not enter the 'admin' of Zen cart....
I re installed Zen Cart 3 times so far, thinking I did not write down the correct PW Admin name and so on....
It seems I cant even email these details to myself, as Zen will not recognise my email address!
What do I do???/
I know that you can go and change some files somewhere, but too scared to touch it, and dont know at this stage how to change it.... So how can I get into admin friends???


any help and step by steps would be great

Check if you can signup as a customer, login with the email/password and order sth from your store. If not there might be a database problem. But there should be an error message during the installation.

Login to the GoDaddy admin panel and use myPhpAdmin to check if the database has a record with your admin information.

monmon,

before you invest any more time in this - change hosts!
I just helped a client recover his site which was down all weekend on goDaddy (and now loads in a screaming 35 seconds!)

Tech support is non-existant there (or they provide answers that are way off base!)

Do you have any recommendations for a host company for a fairly low traffic Zen-Cartted site? (It will be using a shared Windows web server with one SQL Server db.)

I would suggest that since your moving anyway,
unless you absolutly have to have a windows server, that you switch to a linux server.....

Thanks guys... Since I have already paid for a year I might as well try to use them as a host...
I have entered What I thought top be the admin name and password into the 'configeration' section. Am I wrong?
What terms would be used to identify the zen login details when uploading with GoDaddy? Surely I have made a wrong step in installing for Zen to recognise me?

Any help would be great ( I have reinstalled 4 times now)
