I need some help. A friend of mine died recently and he ran a popular web forum that uses this software. Unfortunately, nobody (including his wife) knows his passwords and we are having to deal with that right now. I need to be able to get into the forum as an administrator so we can continue to use the forums, so I can mark some posts as read-only about his death and obituary, etc.
Through his family and the web hosting company, I have gained administrative access to the website where the forums reside and have been able to admin that, I'm comfortable with using Frontpage. So I can see all the files for the forum application. That's how I determined what software it was, I read in the readme and saw it was 8.02 of the Web Wiz forum application.
But I've read the documentation on here and searched the support forums and I have no idea where to start. I am a complete rookie when it comes to this Web Wiz Forum application except what I know from using it and what I've read on this website over the last hour. I am not an ASP guru, but I am a techie so I can probably figure it out if someone told me what to do.
I would prefer to not reset his password for the account he used to post with, and was hoping I could just promote my user account to administrator level? Are there different options for how to fix this situation?
Any help is welcome. Please let me know if there is additional information you need to answer my question.
Thanks!
