The .htaccess file is in the .\xampp\security\htdocs folder.

If you delete that and the xampp.user or .htpasswd file in the .\xampp\security folder it should clear your old user\pass.

You should now go to http://localhost/security and set a new user\pass combo.

In Firefox under Tools>Options...>Security>Passwords>Show Passwords you may have a password that Firefox has remembered and would need to be Removed for localhost or XAMPP.

What error message do you see when trying to access using Firefox?

Check .\xampp\apache\logs\error.log file just after trying to access using Firefox - paste the result here but only the related error message(s).

Why would Firefox be using a instead of username admin?
Internet Explorer 7 does use the correct username admin.
Very strange indeed.


So I am not sure if it is anything XAMPP related but just another few things to check on the XAMPP side.

In .\xampp\security\htdocs is there a file called lang.tmp?

Open the .\xampp\security\.htpasswd in your text editor and check that the user is recorded as admin.

You should see something like admin:$then a whole ...... bunch of MD5 characters here which is the encrypted password.

You may or may not have had issues when upgrading to 1.6.7 but why to 1.6.7 and not to 1.6.8 the latest version?

I have verified all the files content, and i don't have any errors.

And it works fine with MS explorer, the problem is reproductible in all cases under Firefox ...
