Just Host osCommerce uses .htaccess and .htpasswd format files to manage the protection on the admin section of your online store. If you want to change the password or username, you need to create a new .htpasswd entry. This is an encrypted password oscommerce uses to protect the admin area.

First browse to where the .htpasswd file is located through your justhost cpanel file manager. Click on file manager in the control panel and you should be in the home directory, click on the .htpasswds folder icon
- Click on the public_html folder
- Navigate to the oscommerce installation folder then to the admin folder
- You will see a file passed, click on the name of this file, and select edit in the top right hand side menu
- Now this will help you create .htpasswd.
- Copy the result text and paste it into the file you are editing from the file manager.
- Click save at the bottom of the edit page form.

Now you should be able to log into justhost osCommerce admin section with the new username and password.
