Full Version: Admin account locked out due to 5 wrong password tries.

So I'm running the last version of MyBB released on a centos linux VPS. 
I forgot my password and therefore got my account locked up.
It says I should get an email, but here's the second problem :
My forum doesn't send emails. 
Can anyone help ? 


Best regards, Itay.
Open phpMyAdmin and run the following query:
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `salt` = '', `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6' WHERE `uid` = '1'; 

If you do not have the UID 1, then change 1 to whatever the uid of your admin account is.
Once this is done, the password to your admin account will be changed to "test"
Login, then use the password test to change your password to something else.

Good luck Big Grin
