Hello everybody.

Finally I moved to v7.00 Final and migration processed quietly and without problems. Cool! :)

However, it seems I'm turning a dumb guy but I really don't understand the concept behind the "admin password" in the administrator account and I'm having problems with it.

For example, the username and also administrator is "bebe". The admin password for that user is "xxxx" and the user password is "yyyy" because it MUST be different from "xxxx".

When I log in with user "bebe" it ONLY accepts the "yyyy" password (the user one) and doesn't allow me to log with the "xxxx" password (the admin one).

After logged on with "yyyy" I can go to the admin CP but after making some changes to the panels, for example, I receive a message saying that the password is invalid when I try to save any changes. Weird, at least to me...

Is there any kind soul willing to help me with this, please, and properly explain me the concept behind these two passwords for one account? I'm totally lost with this because this concept is quite fuzzy to me at the moment.

Many thanks, in advance, for any useful help.


the admin password is used in some areas in admin section, if you add a panel you need to type the "admin" password in the field "Admin Password" to save the panel
