I don't think anyone has myphpadmin, most people instead have phpmyadmin though.

If you don't have it, you can get it here...

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php

You probably already have it installed on your web server though, I'd suggest you read the documentation at the phpmyadmin link I provided above for you before just trying to use it, or in figuring out how to find, and run it on your server.

Also, I haven't used it yet, but I thought I seen a tool available for the version of Cube Cart your running on the downloads page of this very web site that I don't know for sure, but guessing probably has a fix for your problem in it since I do remember reading another post where people were advised not to leave it on their server once done using it for security purposes.

In the downloads the file is...

CubeCart_Config_Tool_1.0.zip

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.

I read these instructions many times and spent a day looking. I cant find the phpmyadmin in my control panel at the host/server.

i'm not sure what to do.

Convict helped alot.

Thank you very much I did it. The screen shots really helped. I was having trouble finding the phpmyadmin but it was in my MySQL data base and i needed to scroll down. lol
