Hi,

I see you have contributed really well in the forum and was hoping you could offer some advice for me please. I can't log into Admin:

• I've tried resubmitting my pwd but its not send ing to my email address?

• I checked the password via PHPMYAdmin in the admin_table and it had a whole lot of numbers like a76565363638282877823872378:90. replaced this entire string including the ":90" with my password. I then tried accessing Admin with the new details but still no dice

Any ideas?

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!

You are most welcome ... thanks for letting us know that this worked for you in resetting the Admin password ...

Thank YOU, Ajeh. You have helped me numerous times in the past and this is yet another such time (even though I didn't post any question, just did a good search).

One minor clarification: I didn't reset the Admin password (I had it already, along with the Admin email address). What I amazingly forgot was the Admin Username (it wasn't 'Admin' or 'admin'). Funny and frustrating at the same time...

I've done the step to reset it but I still have a blank page in both IE & Firefox. What else could be wrong? I think I'm missing a file. When I first installed zen cart I used to have 97 files and today when I logged in to phpmyadmin I had 95, after I ran the reset codes I have 96, What file could I be missing?

Since I have enabled SSL, I cannot log into Zen Cart with the current username and password. So I tried rebuilding the Admin table with the default settings via phpMyAdmin (Ajeh's recommendation). It didn't work. I tried disabling SSL, made sure that my configure files were writable, and applied Ajeh's process again...and it didn't work. What do you recommend I do?

I've tried installing a new Zen Cart store and couldn't log into that one either. Please help.

Thank you,

Check the files.on the server, for:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

are they both using the same paths, database, username and password?

Can you login to the Catalog?

Have you ever been able to login?
