MyBB Community Forums

Greetings. I have an old forum running 1.6.13 I have kept hidden on my Domain. I am trying to get back into it to upgrade it but it will not log me in. When I do the forgot password portion it sends me a new password but when I try to use that to get into the forum or the admin it lets me in for one page and then kicks me out again. If I attempt to login to the normal page it takes the password to that page that says "You are now successfully Logged in" and then goes back to the home page and asks me to login again.

Can anyone help me out with how to get back in so I can upgrade it to 1.8 and stay logged in? 

I don't have the domain name for the original forum so now it is going to my domain.com/sub folder. Some of the links point to the old domain. Is the login page not sending my cookie to me or something after I login?

find settings.php file in inc folder of your files server. open it using
editor at your web host panel or by using advanced editor like notepad++

change

$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.thecompetitive.net/Forums";

to below

$settings['bburl'] = "http://try2frag.com/Forums2";

similarly change values of
$settings['cookiedomain'] to .try2frag.com {note: it has dot at the beginning}
$settings['cookiepath'] to /forums2/

save the file & use it. you should be able to login to forum admin panel

then at the admin panel
you have to put again above given correct values
at General Configuration settings in Configuration section
and save the settings
