MyBB Community Forums

Hello @ll,
Years ago we secured a part of the forum with password - so it should only be accessible to certain users.
And as that is so old, you forget ... and none of the team remembers the password. Is there a way to recover this password or reset it? In my memory, we did not use an extra plugin at the time.

Is this thread the solution for us? ---->

Thanks in advance for your help 

Greets,

you can try using SQL query like below.

UPDATE `mybb_forums` SET `password` = '' WHERE `fid` = 'X';

X is forum id (number) for which you have to remove the password

re .m.,
i have found the ID, set a password

UPDATE `mybb_forums` SET `password` = 'test007' WHERE `fid` = 'xxx';

I get this error message:
"The password you entered is incorrect. Try Again."


STOP!
I just found the password in ACP ... Forum&Posts - Edit Forum Settings - Additional Forum Options - Forum Password



Problem solved
