Hello, how to disable the spam purge password? When deleting a user, it asks me for a password that I don't remember having entered, I enter my administration password and it tells me that it is wrong. Thank you

By the looks of that error you need to reset the password by going to:

Admin CP > Forums & Posts > Select Forum > Edit Forum Settings > Additional Forum Settings > Forum Password

Enter in a new password.

What do I have to do in each forum? Or is that global? Thank you

That password is for that particular forum. Each forum will have its own unique password (if that's the way you set it up).

Did you put it in a new password or did you leave it blank? Leaving it blank removes password-protected access for that forum (which you won't want to do if you're trying to restrict certain usergroups from seeing posts within that forum).

So if you've put in a new password, you'll need to enter it. If you left the password field blank, then it won't require a password but usergroups (if permissions permit) will be able to see the contents of that forum.
