I have installed successfully Joomla 1.7 locally on my AMPPS server. I did not give any specific password at the installation. Every thing worked fine when I tried to go to the back-end but it has been a few days since. I tried today with the following "default user name and password" and it did not work anymore. I should have written them! We have so many of them that it becomes a nightmare! It seems to me that it was :
User: admin
password: admin
It is possible that they were not these. What are the default password? Is there a way to find them out?
