Hello,
I forgot my admin password to forum, but I still have access to FTP and MySQL.
I tried to change password via MySQL (in mybb_users table), but I still can't log in to my account on forum.

Any idea?
If I remeber when you change password via MySQL remember to remove salt and just type password as plain text straigth into field. After that log in to ACP and change your password via ACP. Then it should work.
You can change your password through the My SQL. but you need to check password whether it is encrypted with MD5 encrypted.
