    Default where is admin log in when zen cart installed at root?

    I just installed zen cart for the first time and I want it to be at the root of my domain www.kartmankarts.com
    I do not want it in a folder. Site loads fine but how can I acess admin area of the site?
    www.kartmankarts.com/admin is not a correct url as noted in the faq The Admin URL would be: www.mydomain.com/admin

    so what is the correct url to log into admin area if the zen cart is installed at the root and not in a directory?
    Sorry if this has been asked a 1000 times as I have not seen the answer.

    Thanks...that helped me discover the problem.
    The correct path wound up being mysite.com/administrator/admin.php

    now what are the default log in details?
    this already set up the admin details and password by default I have no clue as to what they are...
    on what lines can the be changed I assume under the file configure.php?
    Which lines contain the admin user name and the password as I do not recognize anything here..
    I used a auto installer from cpanel.. I did not do the install by hand..

    ok,,, I got when I log in with correct user name and password I get the following error:

    0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
    in:
    [select * from zen_project_version WHERE project_version_key = 'Zen-Cart Database' ]
    If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

    Um ... how exactly did you install Zen Cart? If you use the Zen Cart installer and do the installation by hand (not through some 3rd-party "one-click" install), then all of these questions would be moot, since all that information is collected from you during the installation process.

    And who is your hosting company?
