Greetings,

Everytime I visit the admin page, I am greeting with the pup-up box that says "Security Alert!! For security reasons, please updated your Admin Username and Password."

How can I get rid of this?

You need to change the main Admin accounts username and password to something other than the default that the forum comes with.

Otherwise anyone can log into your forum using the default admin username and password.

If you login as the using the default username and password you can change the username and password in the admin area, under the 'change admin username and password' page.

I changed the password - just not the user name. Just changed the username and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
