Re: Lost user name

Are you talking about the username to access the admin area of your store? Or the username to access the web-hosting control panel to manage your domain? Or the username to access the files on your server so you can upload changes/images/etc?

The answer to your question really depends on what your real question actually is.

Re: Lost user name

You can reset it by following these instructions: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=2
And then you need to figure out why it stopped working, including whether you've been hacked, remembering that v1.3.8a and older have some security vulnerabilities which , if not patched, can lead to getting hacked. Cleaning up the hacker actvitity and upgrading to the latest version are important steps. http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Recovering_From_Hacks
