Hi,

I've locked myself out of my site. When I go to admin area I get pop-up Authentication Required.

I need to enter UN and PW, like a dodo I've forgotten it!

Is there a wa y I can disable this feature ie database or renaming a file via FTP so I can get in again,,

Look forward to your reply,

H

That password box is triggered by an .htaccess file in /administrator. You can delete of rename that file to disable the password prompt.
