    red flag How do I find the Zen Cart admin?

    I hired a webmaster to design my website and he installed zencart and all the items and prices. Now he has moved to Jamaica and I have no way of adding products or changing prices. I do have access to my SQL database and website control panel. Where can I find the control panel for Zencart?

    add /admin to the end of the url to your site and see if the admin login appears

    http://www.YOUR_SITE.com/admin

    Is he refusing to give you information, or just not available to do work?

    You would access your Zen Cart admin by entering www.yoursite.com/admin in the address bar. You will need to know the admin username and password to log in.

    and if you can get to the admin login but don't have the username and password there is a way, since you have access to the DB, to reset them to the defaults.

    He left the company he contracted with and supposedly moved to Jamaica. The company does not have the log in information for my site.

    I depended on him to update pricing etc. so I don't have the log in information.

    What is the easiest solution to this issue? I'm running version 1.3.7 of Zen Cart.

    since you access to the DB use phpmyadmin to reset the admin login info by following the following tutorial:
