For getting access to the admin panel password and username are required.

1. where login details are stored

Password and username are stored in /admin/userdata.php file on your server in a certain strictly specified format. Username and password should be divided with period –  “,”  and password is stored in the encrypted (md5) form. In order to generate a new password any online password generator can be used, like this one, for instance http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

By default admin/userdata.php file contains the following information:

    admin,21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

This means “admin” for username and “admin”  – for password (encrypted in md5).

Any such line encrypted with md5 algorithm is impossible to decrypt so no one can get access to the initial information, which guarantees admin panel security.

2. how to change

For changing password or username /admin/userdata.php file should be edited and then saved with new data. The general requirements for password and username are the following: Latin characters only, blank spaces and special characters are not acceptable. In order to generate a new password any online password generator can be used, like this one, for instance http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

3. how to disable

Admin panel authorization cannot be disabled. In case of adding wrong info to /admin/userdata.php file user will receive an error message.
