^ it looks like public_html is not the base folder for that forum

@raymel65
can you click on forum folder icon at left side (under public_html), expand forum folder,
click on inc folder (under forum) and then look for config.php file at the right side ..

Find: // Include the required core files
Below that there should be something like

require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/config.php";
Is that what you see or is it a different file? Because the default is inc/config.php but I cannot see it (unless it's hidden).

Do you have FTP access which you can check with?
I see     // Include the required core files

           require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/config.php";
           $mybb->config = &$config;

You'll have to tell me where the FTP is so I can try to access it.
You will need a client such as FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/)

Then in the cPanel, go to FTP accounts and it should show the details you need to connect with.
Let's back up a minute, I found this, does it help?
Open the third file, then find in that file:
$config['super_admins']
Then add a comma after whatever is there (should be 1) and then add your uid.
Judging by your previous posts, you would change the line to:
$config['super_admins'] = '1,776';

Did it. 
Save that file then you should be able to access the /admin directory.

I saved the file. The form header does not contain the admin pick and I tried going directly to the admin login. It does not reject my user and password, but it doesn't let me in either. There is no error message such as "wrong user name or password."
I went back to where I added the 776 and it is still there. It did save. We're getting close.
It's right that you don't see the admin panel links.

So what do you see when you go to http://bwsvw.org/forum/admin/

I see the login screen with my username and password already entered. When I click login, it does nothing. I does run for a millisecond.
