I lost my admin password. Since the board is closed, how could I retreive my passwords?

Open phpMyAdmin and find your username and replace the password field with this:

098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

You can now login with the password test, which you can then reset it.

Oh you're good. May be you should send this to MyBBMod's tutorial section for getting yourself back to admin if you forgot your password .

Is that sarcasm?

Nope, I was actually serious. I never thought of editing your password with the md5 hash of "test" into phpmyadmin to get yourself back to admin. Brilliant idea really. Another part of my "admin revive" arsenal has been added...

Thanx Dale, at least I am back into admin. But don't kno what Cory is talking about
