How to change my admin password?

I've had a read of the FAQ's on this topic but to no avail. I have a password provided for me by my host who set up zencart for me, so I can log in to the admin area! I've been poking around in there now for a few hours and I've drawn a blank.

I've looked under the "Tools", "Admin Access Management" menu and "Account" section. Lots of stuff but nothing I could find which lets me actually change my password. Where can I find it???

I did it in 2 second flat in Joomla, so I'm not entirely a lost cause (I hope). I'm running zc1.5.0.

Thanks

Re: How to change my admin password?

i need to reset admin email and password

i can not via zen cart admin panel.

is there some way to change the password via ftp file directory in the admin.php folder.

i have tried via phpMyAdmin

Error

SQL query:

DELETE FROM admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin';


DELETE FROM admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin';

INSERT INTO admin (admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass, admin_profile)

VALUES ('Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

The admin password cannot be changed via FTP.

There are two possible causes for an error here. The first is if your admin user isn't actually called 'Admin', the other is if you are using table prefixes, in which case you'll need to use
DELETE FROM yourprefix_admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin';

Having said that, an error during the DELETE can be safely ignored.

milagromac:

INSERT INTO admin (admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass, admin_profile)
VALUES ('Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

If you can run this insert command without any errors then you will be able to log into your store using Username = "Admin" with password "admin".

If not, then there is something you are not telling us :)
