Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Protect your administrator back-end with a password
Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: 5.3
MySQL version: 5.1.61-community-log
Host: Bluehost
Admin Tools version: 2.2.3

Description of my issue: I created Admin Password Protection via cpanel at my host provider a few weeks ago, after reading a security recommendation from your blog dated 2 yrs ago. I was not aware that my Admin Tools Professional 2.2.3 included this option. When I visit the tool I notice the fields are blank, obviously. But will a new password override the one I created via Cpanel? No risk of any conflict with a new password ?

Thanks

Creating a new password will overwrite and override the one you set in cPanel. There will be no conflict.
