LiteCommerce:How to reconfigure primary administrator account

This article refers to LiteCommerce 2.x only. For user manual to LiteCommerce 3.x, please visit this website.

In case you forget your administrator account credentials, you can always reconfigure primary administrator account using the 'install.php' script:

1. In your LiteCommerce installation directory locate a PHP file, which has a filename comprised of 32 hexadecimal figures (1-9 and a-f) followed by '.php', and rename it into 'install.php'.

2. Launch your web browser and type the URL of LiteCommerce Installation Wizard in the 'Location' field of the browser:

httр://www.example.com/litecommerce_directory/install.php

3. In the software license agreement screen (Figure 4-5):

• select the 'Configure primary administrator account' option,
• specify the authentication code in the corresponding field,
• place a checkmark in a box next to 'I accept the license agreement' to acknowledge acceptance of its terms and conditions, and then
• click on the 'Next >' button to proceed to the next screen.

4. At the next step you are requested to provide new administrator credentials for accessing the Administrator Zone of your online store (Figure 4-6). Type administrator e-mail and password in the corresponding fields and click on the 'Next >' button.

5. The Installation Wizard updates primary administrator profile and displays the 'Installation complete' screen (Figure 4-7). For security purposes, the 'install.php' script is again renamed into a PHP file which has a filename comprised of 32 hexadecimal figures (1-9 and a-f) followed by '.php'.
