Hello!

I've lost my Log Password, and I've tried to use 'Forgot Password'... I used it, but it doesn't send a mail with a temporary...

My helpers(They have access to admin CP) cannot edit my profile, and I can't recover it.

How can I restore my password?.

P.S: Sorry my bad English... I'm not English/American, I'm Portuguese.

My Forum URL: HERE.

May you help me?
I assume you have access to phpMyAdmin, if you run this query, it'll reset your password to 'test'... you can then obviously change it again after you login.

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = '1';
Is it on the server?
Yeah, it should be in your host control panel, you'll need to ask your host if you're unsure where it is. When you're there, you should see a list of databases on the left, choose yours, then you should see a tab at the top called SQL, click that, paste the code above into the box, and click Go.
