Description of my issue: Yesterday I set up a adminpw in the backend but when I went online to login this morning I was directed back to the frontpage without being presented a login. I looked at the administrator directory for a .htaccess file but was not able to see one (I do have one in the root directory so the file would be visible if present.) I worked around the problem using phpmyadmin and deleting the password from adminpw from jos_admintools_storage so that "adminpw":"password" became "adminpw":"".
So while the problem is not an urgent one, I thought it appropriate to bring it to your attention as either a bug or my improper implementation.
Thanks for your guidance
