Hi, I have a MyBB board installed on my website. I forgot my password to the admin account, is there any way to reset it or recover it? I tried clicking the forgot password, to reset it. Got the email click the link, then another one came with the password. It said: "Your new password is:" It had no password.. So anyway to fix this?

Thanks
Run this in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE mybb_users SET password = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1';

Login with test as the password.

Huh

So the email recovery password system is not sending passwords?.

That´s curious because today one user reached me on FB asking me for some help about recovering his password forgotten. I told him to use the "Forgot your password?" system.

I´m gonna ask him tomorrow how he went.
