PS -- if the "can't login as admin" after the upgrade is related to the "no more simple admin passwords" - so called improvement, and if X-Cart released this installer without a way to workaround or bypass a simple admin password, then the installer MUST be pulled and changed so that there is NO WAY the installer can run if the admin password is "simple". The installer must give the admin an opportunity to create a new password to avoid this mess. You would think?
