I want to upgrade mybb from 1.02 to newest version.
When I click "Next" button to upgrade, it told me to input administrator username.
I remember it should be "admin", but seems failed.
How can I get that administrator username?
How to access MySQL database to view the adminstrator username?
Is there any way to let it send my adminstrator username and password to the email address(I've received "Warning: Forums Login Attempt" so the email address should be valid )?
Thanks a lot.
Which administrator username do you mean? I never had to use it in such way.
The administrator account, as long as you are the admin is your username. So if you don't know your username this is a disaster
But anyway if this is true, porbably looking at the users table in db through phpmyadmin will refresh your memory.
And in case you have forgot your password, you can always use the forget my password tool.

I'm a newbie of php
(know little about it, only follow the instruction to install MyBB as forum before), how to use phpmyadmin?
phpMyAdmin is usually located in cPanel. It allows you to view the databases of MySQL.
Couldn't you still look at the memberlist?
Otherwise, just look for uid 1 (if it was you who installed the board)

No, the reason I want to upgrade to newest version is:
My forum was hacked by some one
When I visit the forum, it leads me to another website , so I can't look at the memberlist
Well you could always go into the acp and fix the template that got messed up.
