in phpMyAdmin, click on the "SQL" tab, and enter this statement and click "Go":
Code:

update configuration set configuration_value=0 where configuration_key = 'ADMIN_DEMO';

Many thanks..... Ive seen this post before but I cannot locate phpmyadmin anywhere in the admin side or the cpanel side, Ive tried php chat, I dont seem to have a seperate icon to click onto as you describe, I have found phpadmin in file manager etc but I dont think thats the same is it.

Could you guide me where it is.

Thanks for you quick reply...

where is the phpMyAdmin? to remove and reset the structure?
what is it DROP TABEL IT EXIXTS admin?
where to CREATE TABLE admin to save where? (w'd it be text editor? if so save with what namne?)
what is admin VALUES? And how to apply the VALUES?

SORRY FOR BEING SO STUPED, I JUST DON'T KNOW?

HEEE..EEE..EEELP
when i was following the security recommendations made a mistake and cant login. first ive changed the admin directory name and it works when i tried it. then i wanted to change my password and there all begins /i blame that moment doing that/. i tried to use case sensitive admin name and alfa- numeric password to it. after loggin off i cant login again.
then i did what forum says, in phpmyadmin i copied-pasted those codes in 2 steps but still cant login.
is the admin name case-sensitive or not? do i miss something there, maybe check-uncheck boxes...
now im really suffering about loss of my works
please help

maybe the table name must be with prefix zen_??
