No, FileZilla is an FTP client it's used to connect to your webserver so you can view the files and folders in there, see screenshot - hope it helps.
I don't have anything like that.
Is it something I'd need to download?

That would be up to you, as you can I believe make the change through the File Manager in the cPanel.
so yes! how do I just change it in Cpanel?

http://yourdomain.com/cpanel then look for File Manager once in it open the "public_html" folder then go to where your forum is so it will be /public_html/inc/[config file is in here] OR /public_html/your-forums-folder/inc/[config file is in here]
Wow! Yay! Finally! This is what I've been looking for!
Thank you soooo much for all of your help, I reaslly appreciate it!
OK I am in File Manager, & I went to forum, but I can't locate any file that says config
I did however find the banner which is what I wanted to change in the 1st place!
Course now my forum is down since no one, including me
can gain access now that I've changed the password...
OK found config!!!! it was in the modules folder!
OK now what...???
^ changed database password should be entered in
./inc/config.php file
$config['database']['password'] = '__________';
however, your original issue was not related to database password. it was about
administrator password
and
post #2 has link to required guidance
Yay! I did it!
Thank you guys sooo much for your help!
Now, to go address the reason I came here in the first place!
OK back to my original issue:
I followed all the steps, successfully, without knocking my forum off-line this time!!! Yay!
& I put
UPDATE
mybb_users SET
salt = '',
password = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6' WHERE
uid = '1';
in the correct place & I changed the 'uid' to the old admin's user name and got back an error message saying
#1054 - Unknown column '____' in 'where clause'
Hello...anyone...???
Hello...? I still need help!!!
