cPanel/ZC_Install question

[kbeard]

Well, I followed your advice about editing the cofigure.php files and that got a nice result as far as the store itself - looks good, but needs changing to suit our needs. I got to the admin login page with no trouble either, but can't login. created a new user in the MySQL part of my host login, and that won't let me login to admin either. In both cases I get a message saying your login ID or password are not recognized.
I have read all these posts about admin login failure and I'm totally confused. When I go the phpadminin my host cpanel I can see no where to edit anything that makes sense.
Please help a novice!

If this is a fresh install the default admin password is admin. Once you log in you can change this in TOOLS>ADMIN SETTINGS.
Try looking through the /DOCS folder int eh zen cart file that you uploaded. All this information is in there as well.

actually you should have set your admin username and password during install,
if you are using the fantastico install, your actually better off deleting that and uploading fresh files and installing it manually, less screwups ( fantasticos part )

Thanks to you both for your response. I tried Admin/admin for the login, it doesn't work either. I think Merlin has the best idea delete the old intallation and reinstall the way it was meant to be instaleed - not through fantastico. The host is trying to get me to point the dns to the new location and make it easier, maybe I'll do that too.
I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks again,
Keith

Merlinpa and CBO - I did a complete reinstall and everything is functioning perfectly. Now the work starts.
Thanks for all your help.
