How to change the Oscommerce Admin Password

The easiest way is to get into the cpanel for that site.
Click on “Web Protect” under the Site Management Tools menu.
Navigate to the folder you want to change (in this case /catalog/admin/)
There you will be able to change, add or delete usernames and passwords for that folder.
You can even set it up so multiple persons can have passwords and usernames.

If you do not have a cpanel through your hosting company I would advise you call or email them
as you probably won’t be able to do this yourself without cpanel.
