Re: locked out! help needed for complete novice

You'll have to know the name of the admin folder. Then it will be www .yoursite.com/nameoftheadminfolder.

If you didn't install Zencart, ask your host, or use your FTP program to look at your folders.

Do you have the admin user name and password ?

Re: locked out! help needed for complete novice

This is the directory structure of zen cart:

So open up your FTP programm or filemanager and have a look on the server.

cache, docs, downloads, editors, email, extras, includes, media, pub and zc_install are not the admin folder, the one left on your server should be it.

I came, I saw, I got zenned... :)
