So my forum was hacked and a lame message was written.

It seems the admin password was changed too so I can't login.

Anyway to fix this?

I have acess to the cpanel.

Im using byethost as my host.

Please help me.
Change host.
Create a new user from Phpmyadmin make him super admin.
Then login to your forum
This is why you don't use free, shared hosting...

Run this SQL query in phpMyAdmin in cPanel:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = '1'

This will reset your password to 'test' (no quotes).

THANK YOU....I FIGURED IT! LOVE YOUBig Grin
You're welcome Smile Be sure to change it to something other than test right away if you haven't already. Also, if you can look at the administrator logs you can see the IP address of who hacked you and possibly how they did it.
