Full Version: Cannot access my Admin

Apologies for coming back with another idiot question!

I need to prune the forum, but it's been so long since I used my Admin that I can't get the password. Worse still, it's not sending emails for me to reset.

Is there any way I can get into the Admin panel from a name without privileges? Or some other means of retrieving password?

I have it all running on my own virtual server, but the control panel doesn't have any access points to the forum...

Any ideas will be welcome!

Thanks
see password change details here => faq: login problems

[SQL queries guidance]
I'd pay close attention to the password change / sql instructions linked by .m.  Obviously need to know the userid (uid) of the admin account in question.  If this is the account that installed MyBB - should be 1.

cheers...
