Can't logon to local install

It's been several months since I needed to access my ZenCart Admin but I need to make a change and for some reason it won't accept my id/pw...

I've read several of the past threads on this problem, and can get nowhere - in particular with the ones that recommend opening phpMyAdmin and making changes there...I can't seem to FIND a phpMyAdmin to open!

I tried sending an email to get a reset pw - it indicated the message had been set (so it knows my e-mail address!), but that has yet to show up...I suspect that might have something to do with the fact that this is a local installation under xampp & MySQL.

I can run the ZenCart store on this, including seeing the data from the MySQL, so I doubt that there is anything seriously wrong there.

I just want to access this so I can add a new product to test the revised site before I upload it.

I am running Vista 64, and zen-cart-v1.3.8a. I understand there are some updates to that, but I want to get a known working site before I do any upgrades.

Also, is there only one ZenCart admin to handle more than one store? I copied and renamed the existing current version of the store to have to work on. The only things I changed (other than the product changes was the admin fields with the old directories to the new ones - and I know that worked since I see the text changes.

Vger:

You are using XAMPP, so the address of phpMyAdmin is http://localhost/phpmyadmin

That worked - thanks.
