Magento default administration name change



Magneto default administration console is called “admin” but it can be changed easily

The Magento default administration console is called “admin” but it can be changed easily.  You need to use an FTP program to access your site.  In the app/etc/ folder you’ll see a file named “local.xml”.

Locate the following code near the bottom of the file:

<admin>
<routers>
<adminhtml>
<args>
<frontName><![CDATA[admin]]></frontName>
</args>
</adminhtml>
</routers>
</admin>

You’ll notice in the frontName tag there’s the current path to your administration console.  In this example and by default, it is named “admin”.
