Hi,

I feel really stupid for loosing my password for the plugin up-loader. How can i reset it?

You might have a better response here: http://mattrogowski.co.uk/mybb/forum-14.html

Run this query in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE `mybb_pluginuploader` SET `version` = 'VRTwMCbuGA', `files` = '4c122c442f5630061f0fc210e5c29cf3' WHERE `name` = '_password';

Then the password will be test, and you'll be able to change it as normal.

Yeah usually I see threads there before I see them here.

--RESOLVED--

Can a moderator lock this please

I have a similiar issue. Unfortunately I tried removing the table for mybb_pluginuploader. Now it's kind of locked. Should I create this table field to reset it?

If you deleted the table you need to make it again.

Deactivate the plugin, you should then have the option to Install and Activate again.

Yea, it didnt work for me because I had merged by primary admin account with UID 1, to another one so that I had a UID of 155. Finally, I did a database query, replaced all tables with UID 155 to UID 1, then changed the UID in users table to 1. Then I did a db query replacing the password hash with the test password hash..

It didnt work when I tried to deactivate and reactivate. Even I recreated the table.

Your user ID has nothing to do with it at all...

Isnt it true that only a person with uid of 1 can access the plugin uploader without password/reset it?
