reading back over everything. Wouldn't he still be able to get into a new account with the second option? Or are you saying that in order to log in to the admin panel you have to know the universal password?

INSTALL PROCEDURE

01. first create 2 files called htaccess.txt and htpasswd.txt.

in htaccess.txt place this:
-------------------------------
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname anabolicreview.com
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/your/forum/admin/.htpasswd
-------------------------------
save the file. this file will lock your admin folder, if the username and
password is incorrect.

in htpasswd.txt place this:
-------------------------------
username:encryptedpassword
-------------------------------
to make an username and encrypted password, go here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~remcovz/htpasswd.html
save the file.

NOTE: you can make as many users you want. place them all in
htpasswd.txt file. here it is an example the way your file
should look like:
-------------------------------
PtbyJason:JFE77XeDHmQc2
nakkid:TpWjdGMlaQXuI
-------------------------------
NOTE: the username and password are case sensitive.

02. now that we have the 2 files saved, upload them to your /admin folder
and rename them to .htaccess and .htpasswd, using your favorite
ftp client. they will become invisible.

03. upload to your /admin folder the adduser.php file i emailed you
and run it. if you did a good job with .htaccess and .htpasswd files, you will
get a window asking you to enter your username and password. do that.

the script will load and you can enter all the info necessary to create your
admin account.

NOTE: make sure you select from the dropdown the Administrators group because
with this script you can add any member to any group you want.

04. now that you created a new admin account, is time to nail the sucker
who did this. access your /admin/index.php file as usual. the secured window
will not ask you again to enter your username and pass because the lap of time
set to store your information, so there is no need to panic..

05. enter your new username and password, at VB prompt, as usual.

06. delete all admin accounts. you are done and in control again.

it was easy right? yep it was, so why you panic?

TECK · #30 02-23-2002, 03:35 AM

let me know if you need something else. that should do it.

TECK · #31 02-23-2002, 03:48 AM

ok.. post here once you are done

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
