How to reset admin password of osCommerce

By broncha in articles, Tutorials, Web Space on July 9, 2010

Connect to your site via FTP and change the directory to /admin.

Then download the .htaccess file

Find the line which says “AuthUserFile”

There should be a location to a .htpasswd file next to AuthUserFile

Now go to that location and download the .htpasswd file

This file is generally in the same folder.

Now open the .htpasswd file.

There you should see something like this:

admin:SIfr3mcGRGxaU

The username and the encrypted password are separated by the colon(:)

Now go here and create a password.

Remove the latter part in the .htpasswd file i.e. the part after the colon, and copy and paste the password you created.

That’s it! You just reset the password for the osCommerce admin.
