    Default Lost login info for admin

    My computer crashed this morning. My husband and I are in the process of (hopefully) getting it repaired. I am using his computer right now. The bad news is, my ZC admin login info is on my crashed computer. I know I can do the password reset - I tried that a few times this morning. But of course no admin login username was sent with it. I did not write down the admin login name anywhere else. Stupid me, I know. And since I C&P everything into login screens to prevent keyloggers, you can imagine I don't remember the admin username. Aside from pasting it in.

    So I can reset the password, but is there a way to retrieve the login admin username as well? I am really worried that my computer crashing with all of my login info on it has essentially blocked me from using my zen cart shop.

    I just went into the FAQs area and used the Search and typed in "admin password" and it brought back this article: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...rd-(i-lost-it)

    Thank you as always DrByte - and I'm sorry, I should have thought to search there too.

    *edit* The bad thing is that ALL of my shop-related logins and information was kept on my laptop. Including hosting CP addresses and logins for my back-end. Go figure. I'll have to call my hosting company.

    Password vaults like 1Password or LastPass are handy lifesavers in times like this ;)
