I have two installs store and secondstore.. both have identical admin accounts with the same password -- I made sure of this by updating the second stores table to be that of the first store..  Yet I can't login to the second store as it says no match for user name/password..  but it works fine on the first store.

Note; it was working fine before I did a backup of one store, and restored it to the other store to test those features.

Cache issue?

Hello.
You need to take value of constant UNIQUE_ID  from /system/config.php and insert into config of second instance of Abantecart.
 This value using by hash generating function and works as "salt" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_%28cryptography%29).
it made by security reason. For example, to prevent using md5 collision.
