 Topic: Can’t Remember Admin Password
Posted: 09 November 2005 at 11:53pm |
Hello,
I reset my admin password a while ago and now I cannot remember what it is. This is for the forums. I originally knew it then made my mods to it, but now I am ready to use it live and can't remember what I changed it to.
If anyone out there can help, I would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks in advance.

You need to download a fresh copy of the forum, then open the database
and from the table tblAuthor copy and paste the 'Password' and 'Salt'
value from the admin entry to your own database. This will tehn reset
the password.

I am getting the "500" Internal Server Error.
Also I noticed that when I use FTP to try to bring down a backup of the forum down to my local drive, I get an error. If something is corrupt, do I have to rebuild my whole entire site?

ok, the user_Code is changed on login and it looks like the database is
in a folder that is read only and therefore it cant update the
user_Code field.
you need ot make sure the database is within a folder with read,write
and modify permissions. also make sure the database has the same.
