I didn't set the email setting up in my control panel and i requested a new password how do i reset my password manually

What do you mean 'email setting'...?? You give your email address when you install the forum, you don't need to set anything else up for password resets.

Run this query in phpMyAdmin:

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

Sorry, forgot to say that after that your password will be 'test' so you can login with that and change it normally.
