How do you log in to the admin area of Zen Cart?

I just installed Zen Cart version Zen Cart 1.3.8a.1

Here is the link to my store:

http://w w w . j e r e m y h o o r n s t r a . c o m / s t o r e

It's just installed and I'm trying to log-in to the admin area but I don't see any admin area?

I clicked on the log-in button and typed my email address and password in and an error message appeared stating there is no record of my username / password???

I've only just installed the feature and already I'm having problems!!

Re: How do you log in to the admin area of Zen Cart?

go to

http://jeremy###hoornstra.com/store/admin/

you use the admin name and password that you specified during set up.

Oh, and before you go much further you might like to rename the admin folder to something else. Having it called 'admin' is a security risk. There is a tutorial telling you how to rename it.

Thank you.

I'm still puzzled why I never received any documentation telling me how to login to my admin area. I would have thought that would have been standard.

It is.

The last page of the installer tells you the URL to your admin area as well as links to the support forum and FAQs, Tutorials, documentation, etc.
