Store Config Now Asking for Password

[Guest kai viti]

1) I installed Cubecart and started familiarizing myself with setting up my store. Store Config was working.

2) Today, I bought & installed the key to remove copyright notice, and now it seems I can't get into the Store Config section. The 2 things may not be related.

3) Removed Cubecart using Fantastico and re-installed a fresh copy & not apply key to remove copyright notice, but when I click on Store Config, it still prompts me for User & Password and it doesn't take my general Admin user name & password.

HELP!

Good grief here we go again. Sorry but this is the 3rd time today I've dealt with this:

If you have managed to forget your admin password and for some reason you cannot get the "Reset Password" function to work please follow this process:

1. Access your database using a tool such as phpMyAdmin and browser the table CubeCart_admin_users. It should contain the list of administrator accounts to access the admin interface of your store.

2. We need to now create a file to show us what the md5 hash of the password you require should be.

Using notepad make a file with content:

<?php

echo md5("password");

?>

3. Replace password with your desired password.

4. Save this file as md5.php and upload it to your webserver.

5. Execute this in your browser and copy the output.

6. Edit the admin user with phpMyAdmin and paste this output into their password field.

If done successfully then you should now be able to access the admin interface of your store.

Thanks; will try it out later.

BYW, I didn't forget my password as I didn't even realize that there was a password feature for the Store Config section only, so never even set one up.

Can't see where I may have even accidentally done this.

What I don't understand is why the removal & installation of a fresh copy of Cubecart & db didn't fix this?

Update: the long & short of this turned out to be either the browser I'm using on a differnt machine, or something to do with cookies on this machine.

Once I switched to different browser on same machine, the password prompt disappeared! Go figure.

Cookies and temp files

Try with that machine and press ctrl+F5, just to test :)
