hi,

try a zero lengh .access file in your lib/MiniMate/pages/admin and create a .access_gate file
in the same directory containing:
* : [value name=toto set="[data session username]" hide=1][if value toto eq
'minivend']Yes[/if]

then in your site create a user called minivend (site admin) and modify in your  minivend.cfg
or catalog.cfg (don't remember which)
Variable   MV_NO_CRYPT  1
AdminUser  minivend:yourpass

cheers,
