Full Version: Admin CP Password problem
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi,

I recently installed my forum www.originalforums.com

I can log in fine and even get into my admin cp but whenever I try to click on any other links it asks me to enter username and password. I'm 100% sure I'm entering it correct. I even requested a new pass for my email and it's still not working.

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks.
If you can't remember your password and the forgot password link isn't sending you an email, run this query:

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

Your new password is:
test
You could just register a new account then just update the password on the new account with the password on the one that does not work.

Example:
The password okman123!@ encrypted is:
ec82111a3c4c0604b05550335c3a55df
and the salt for that is:
AgIVaKy4
and the login key is
acOKBU1vLoyKKHnU7SSmXGyRp4L2sCA9XfQ9Z9Dn1Q1FiiFJJq
Thanks for the help.

I checked the code in the settings file, and everything seemed ok.

I must have to CHMOD the files. Can I do it without FTP access?

If not I'll try some of the scripts you gave me.
