So, how exactly can you change your Zen Cart admin password? Just follow the below steps for the info needed.

'''1'''. Log in to your '''[[cPanel]] => phpMyAdmin'''. This tool allows to reset the admin password for all scripts installed via Fantastico (i.e. including Zen cart admin pasword reset)

'''2'''. From the list of databases '''choose your Zen Cart database'''. You'll get the list of DB tables.

'''3'''. Click on '''SQL tab''' at the top of the page and enter the following code:</div>

 DELETE FROM admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin'; 
 INSERT INTO admin (admin_name, admin_email, 
 admin_pass, admin_level) 
 VALUES ('Admin', 'admin@localhost',
 '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

<div align=justify>'''''Note these lines''''': '''''DELETE FROM admin''''' and '''''INSERT INTO admin'''''. '''“admin”''' should be replaced by the proper table name. If you have prefixes (like zencart’s default is “zen_” ) you should be putting the prefix used. So in the default case, it would be '''''DELETE FROM zen_admin''''' and '''''INSERT INTO zen_admin'''''.

If there is no error being displayed then you have your Zen Cart admin password reset and should be able to log in now using:

 ''username'': Admin
 ''password'': admin

After you log in, remember to delete this temporary admin account and create a new one from '''Admin => Tools => Admin Settings'''

'''Note:''' phpMyAdmin tool allows to change the Zen Cart admin password along with the password for any user on the list.

Alternatively you try to modify Zen Cart admin password by entering already encrypted password into the '''password field''' in phpMyAdmin '''zen_admin''' table.
The following example can be used:</div>

 ''Password''    ''Encrypted password''
 admin = 0f5c31864f148965851c0ce4e385e083:Array
