Today I went to log into my admin and it said my user name and password were incorrect. I checked the myphp and looked at all the tables and I found that the admin table the admin log and one other table just below that was missing. Sorry, I saw a screen shot of someone elses myphp while looking for solutions and noticed there were three I didn't have but I can't remember what it was called. Basically there were no tables between the address tables and the banners table.

Anyway, I followed the directions given in this thread
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...=132951&page=3

and was able to re-create the admin table and then I used the code for entering a temporary admin log in.

In the table it shows 'Admin' as a user but it still says that I have the incorrect user name and password and I can't log in.

Would the other missing table(s) be the reason and if so can I re-create those as well?

I have a backup but I'm sorry to say it's a little out of date. (I haven't been real active with my zen cart lately. It has been able to run on it's own with instant downloads with no problems)

I did a back up of the database today.

When restoring a database does it copy over the old tables or does it delete the tables? I'm asking because I'm wondering if I could restore my older back up to return the admin tables and then restore my latest backup that doesn't have the admin files and the old ones won't be overwritten. Does that make sense? I really don't want to lose any new customer information.

Can you restore just certain tables from a backup using myphpadmin? I've only been able to find out how to restore the whole database.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm still using version 1.3.8
