Hey, I lost my admin password; oops. Toungue And I tried searching for some answers but they are confusing and complicated. Anyone one got a simple way to reset or find the password. Thanks.

PS: "Lost Password Recovery Form" didn't work.
try to run this query in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = 'X'

Change the X to your User ID, your password will be test.
run this in your phpmyadmin and replace x with your userid, password will be test.

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = 'X'

Hey guys thanks again, but this time I get "Affected rows: 0 (Query took 0.0002 sec)" so I don't think it worked and I even replaced the X with admin. What should I do now?

No your uid isn't your username, your uid is at the end of the URL when you view your profile.
For example, if you're the first one who signed up, your user id would be 1.
Thanks everyone it worked!
