Full Version: Forgot my password :(

So I haven't used my forum in ages and forgot my password. I have it installed on my web-server and everything, is there a way I can find it through there?

I had the forum closed when I was logged in as admin so I can't do a password reset.
Run this query in phpmyadmin. Replace x with your user id.

UPDATE mybb_users SET salt = '', password = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6' WHERE uid = 'x';

Your password will be test.

Remember to change it afterwards.
Where is phpmyadmin?
You can find it in your host's control panel.
Do I fill in the salt?
No you don't need to fill any thing, just paste the query in SQL box and click GO.
Alright I got it thanks! I hope I didn't mess anything else up though. I couldn't figure it out and first and was editing the wrong area :x
