I have not opened my forum for a while since I was busy, however, have forgotten my admin password. Unfortunately, am currently using a free web host that donnot fully support php sendmail for free users, so can't reset my password, what can I do?
Update your md5 hash in phpmyadmin.
do you have access to database manager (eg.
phpMyAdmin) ?
see
common SQL queries guidance and you can use Query like below (note:
X is your
user id)
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = 'X'
above query resets your password to
test and immediately log into your forum and change your password
I have access to phpmyadmin, but dont know how to run a query, may I send a PM
phpmyadmin > select your database > click on "SQL" > and run this
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = 'X'
Change
X to your UID.
So if you have
uid=1 run this
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = '1'
Password is
test
Like .m. said.
