Removing login requirements for the admin area

I have created a customized page that resides in the admin directory, how do I go about removing the security on this page? (Note: our installation is only available internally only)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Removing login requirements for the admin area

As an add-on question from my earlier post,

Is it possible to remove the requirement to logon to the admin pages? (Our installation of Zencart is NOT available on the internet).

Thanks.

Create a new file, named /admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_admin_auth.php
with this as the content:```

<?php $_SESSION['admin_id'] = 1; ``` USE AT OWN RISK ... having no security on your Admin area is dangerous business.

Re: Removing login requirements for the admin area

This works for Zen Cart 1.3.7.1 but does anyone know how to achieve the same for version 1.2.6?

Thanks
