It can be hard to keep up with all the different passwords for your account. If you’ve forgot your admin password for OpenCart, you can reset the password in the database. You’ll have to use phpMyAdmin in cPanel to change the password to the admin account.
Since you’ll be resetting the password to “password” it’s very important to make sure once you are logged in to the OpenCart Admin Dashboard, to change it to something more secure. Remember you can host multiple websites with our
Shared Hosting plans.
How to change your OpenCart Password in phpMyAdmin
- Log into cPanel and click on phpMyAdmin
- Open the database that your OpenCart store uses
Find the “user” table and then click on Edit, next to your “admin” user entry.
-
Write your preferred password in the password field. From the function dropdown to the left, select MD5. Press Go at the bottom to save your settings.
- Now, attempt to log into the OpenCart Dashboard with your new password
