Best Answer

The default username and password should be that which you added in installation process.

For change username and password, You need to change from database.

The default login is : admin The default password is : 123123

Just run at your sql database:

SELECT *FROM admin_user;

Then, find the username you want to modify in the listing provided - ‘admin’ in this example. Then, to update the password, type:

UPDATE admin_user SET password=CONCAT(MD5('qXpassword'), ':qX') WHERE username='admin';

‘qX’ would be changed to whatever you want it to be and same goes for ‘password’
