also how to i change ftp password? i can view/edit the wp-config file in the subfolder of my hosting via filezilla (my ftp software). Is this the o nly file i need to edit?

But which file do i change to change the password to get into the wordpress area (at mysite.co.uk/wp-admin) in the wordpress area to change wp admin password?

Hi there I have managed to ascertain the name of the subfolder withing the htdocs (root folder) in my hosting.

I also managed to log into the admin area (mysite.co.uk/wp-admin), but I still do not know how to change any info or edit the images on the site.

The site has a image slider on the top (transition between 5 images) and I managed to delete 2 images by mistake and now there are only 3 images instead of 5. I can’t find where I can access the image slider (plugin?) to edit it so i can get it to transition through more images then just the 3 at the moment (used to be 5).

I just dont cant work out how the website has been structured and sql file interacts with the filepack I uploaded (via ftp) with all the files in and how this interacts with the wordpress admin panel at the back.

any ideas?

Thanks for your reply esmi,

1) I do not know where wordpress is installed on my server – how can i find this out?

2) I realise that I need to update a file within the database(the wp-config.php file) but I am not sure

> Where it is located

> How to update it properly

I do have basic knowledge and could change the required variables within the database (via myphpadmin) if i knew what to do.

I look forward to your response.

Regards.

Also, I would like to know how I can change the myphpadmin password to stop anyone editing or removing my site from the web?

I know I can change the password wia my host but then the site stops working as the password is also embedded in the sql database for the site – so I need to know how to update the myphpadmin password on the back end of the site.

Regards.
