admin password

chattunnel:

this is what the database admin table reads in phpmyadmin:

You said yourself that your table's name is "admin", not "zen_admin" or "someOtherPrefix_admin", etc. Thus you're not using any prefix, thus that footnote about adding prefixes is irrelevant to you.
Further, if you were needing a prefix, then you would have been getting an error saying "Table admin does not exist", or similar.

DrByte:

I don't see any other posts from you where you mention exactly what commands you ran and what errors you were getting.
DrByte:

What error do you get when you follow the password-reset instructions? http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?44-how-do-i-change-or-reset-my-admin-password
Also, despite us asking, you've still not posted any actual MySQL error messages here. So, either you're not getting any errors, or you're just not sharing the information, which makes it even harder to offer useful answers to your questions.

Edit: apparently we were typing our posts at the same time. Glad you finally got in by following the instructions in the FAQ article.
Wishing you well with your site.

Re: admin password

chattunnel:

great I got in without using prefixes..

Told ya so <big grin>

So, what about the UPPER_CASE_TEXT problem? Does that still exist, or has it somehow 'fixed itself' somewhere along the line?

Cheers

Re: admin password

The files you'll need to replace/install are those located in

/includes/languages/*
and/or
/youradmin/includes/languages/*

You almost certainly won't need to restore all of these, only those that are missing and/or corrupt. In fact, as far as I can determine, you may only need to restore/replace one file.. namely

/youradmin/includes/languages/english/login.php

However, if this file is missing, there are probably others missing too. I/we have no way of knowing what these may be.

Cheers
Rod.

Update: You have at least two missing/corrupt files (probably missing). /youradmin/includes/languages/english/password_forgotten.php is another.
