After you have completed the installation the admin login asks for a email address and password.
This is not specified during the installation - what should it be ??

Thx

Unless it has changed it is

User Name: admin@localhost.com
Password: admin

Read the README file that is included with the zip

Yes just found it in the readme file - Thx for replying !!

I think I am going to recode the admin screen to have it display the default login if it has not been changed.

This is the most annoying thing ever! (no offense to those who are running across this for the first time - I know it is new to you, but the README file says READ ME for a reason. This is like the 10,000,000th time I have seen this question asked!)

Probably the most asked question since "what is the meaning of life"

After reading the readme files the key to getting questions answered the fastest on any forum is using the search function. By searching keywords in a question you can find answers to common and even uncommon questions much faster than posting a question and waiting for the answer.

Just my own 2 cents.

Yes Search will resolve most issues ... I think it would be in everyones best interest to place another sticky in the V2.0 forums like the V1.7 fourms that has the same title

"I've just installed OSCMax what is the password?"

LOL,

I uninstalled and reinstalled and admin@localhost.com no longer works... Any suggestions?

If you did not drop your database, then likely your old user name and password from your last install is what you need.

Otherwise you have an installation issue...

admin@localhost.com
admin

If that doesn't work, use whatever you were using in the last install. And you can try the admin@localhost.com with your old password. Otherwise, go to mysql ... drop the database and reinstall so that everything is fresh.
