First change them in ./inc/settings.php, then change them from your admin cp.

1. delete browser
cookies.
2. Through
FTP, set proper values related to cookies within
inc/settings.php file.
values are :
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".dtgisgreat.byethost6.com";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/";
$settings['cookieprefix']= "";
3. login to ACP and make sure cookie settings are set properly then save.
Make sure to perform step 1 (delete browser cookies) else you will have trouble login or logoff even after changes.
i clear my cookies then open FILE ZILLA connect to my account then i edit settings.php and set my values then save it and it changes their position well then i try again but the problem still their then i delete settings.php it regenerates and setting that i saved they were showing then i try again bt prob still their

Nathan, sometimes MyBB likes to nuke edits to settings.php, which makes deleting it and editing the settings table more reliable when done correctly.
go into MyBB_settings in the database and change the matching values from there.

I'm not sure what you mean, settings.php is just a cache of those in the database. Apart from updating the settings in the ACP (and when settings.php doesn't exist) MyBB uses settings.php as read-only. Either way can be used but editing settings.php is the preferred method as a lot of administrators don't want to mess around with the database.
@Master M1nd
Well, if you insist to edit it in sql tables, ofcourse you can do.
Simply login to phpmyadmin, chose your database,
then look at left side for mybb_settings table, click it
then scroll down to find fields you want to edit
(they have names about cookies as you would expect)
and edit them to what you want.
But personaly i would agree with Nathan Malcolm post above that editing settings.php and deleting browser cookies should be more appropriate.
When I moved ZEJ from my home server to Bihira and edited the settings file, upon logging in to the backend it'd continuously log me out even though I'd cleared my cookies. I peeked at the file and found it had reset itself somehow.
