                • You will receive an email with a password reset link. Follow the instructions in the email to reset your password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Method 2: Reset via Database (if you can’t access the email)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Access Your Database:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n

                      2. Select the CS-Cart Database:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          3. Find the cscart_users<\/code> Table:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
