I have inherited WebWiz from a previous associate. We are running version 9.08 (I believe) on SQL 2000 / Windows 2003. How do you tell what version you are on?
Any how, when I click on the Admin link and try to login, I cannot get in. I am in the Admin group, and we are using AD integration. My AD password does not work. Also, when I try to login, it messes up my account and I cannot log in. WHen i look in the database at my account, it normally looks like domain\username, but in this case it changes it to usernameXXXXXX where XXXXXX is some random characters that are generated.
Thanks for your help!

When your forum homepage is on the browser window, click view source and it should say something like: /* ******************************************************* Software: Web Wiz Forums(TM) ver. 9.55 Info: http://www.webwizforums.com Copyright: (C)2001-2009 Web Wiz(TM). All rights reserved ******************************************************* */ or in your forum folder, find the includes folder, and look at version_inc.asp file which will tell you what version you have If you cannot access your admin area then http://www.webwiz.net/webwizforums/kb/admin_password_reset.asp" rel="nofollow - follow these instructions here ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

| Thank you very much for the help. We are on version 9.08 and the password trick through SQL worked. Thanks for your assistance. |

If you are using Active Directory then there will be a built in admin account that you do not use with Active Directory. It is this account which is only used to access the admin area and you do so by going directly to teh admin.asp page and logging in directly to the admin area using this account.
