Thank you, the master password is exactly the mod I am looking for. This bypass all the password issues.


Thanks again,

How do you enable or use the Master Password?

The issue I have is customers that sign up and register, and then forget their password. I know they can submit a password reset, but in some cases their email gets sucked away by their SPAM filter, and they are left without a password.

I would like to, from the admin position, reset their password for them and send it to them. They can then log in and change it again.

If the Master Password will let me log into their account, I can change the password for them and provide it to them in a separate communication.

How does the Master password work?

You set the master password in admin, then login to the customer account using their email address and the master password.

I found the download for Master password - thanks for the tip.

I carefully installed it, but it did not work for me. I then realized that my ZenCart is at version 1.2.5, which is old.

This leads me to my next question. Can one upgrade to the latest version all at once, or do I need to do a step wise upgrade through the various versions? I have made several modifications to the ZenCart, but I can merge an upgrade in manually if needed.

How about the database? Will this need changing as well?

Thanks for all the support you folks provide.

You can upgrade the database all at once ...

I would, however, plan on building a new template to use the new structure and methods introduced in v1.3.x ...

There are many threads on how to do test upgrades in a test directory with a test database and take your time in designing your shop ...
