To reset your phpBB Admin password, please follow these steps:<\/p>\n

A) \u00a0Using your web hosting control panel or the every least you need to identify the MySQL database associated with your phpBB installation.<\/p>\n

You have to locate the config.php<\/strong> usually located in the phpBB default folder that you originally installed the application.<\/p>\n

Open the config.php<\/strong> with any text editor to review and locate the section that is set in red<\/span><\/strong> bold. \u00a0That information has the database username and password which allows you to gain access.<\/p>\n

\/\/ phpBB auto-generated configuration file
\n\/\/ Do not change anything in this file!
\n$dbms = 'mysql';
\n$dbhost = 'localhost';
\n$dbport = '';
\n$dbname = 'database_name';
\n$dbuser = 'database_user';
\n$dbpasswd = 'database_password';<\/strong><\/span>
\n$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
\n$acm_type = 'file';
\n$load_extensions = '';<\/code><\/p>\n

@define(‘PHPBB_INSTALLED’, true);<\/p>\n

?><\/p>\n

B) \u00a0From your web hosting control panel start phpMyAdmin<\/a> to reset the password.<\/p>\n

1. Click the corresponding table that stores username and password information: phpbb_users or whatever you have as the table_prefix.<\/em>
\n2. Click Browse<\/strong> located towards the top of your screen so that a list of users display.
\n3. Find the account of user that needs to be changed (eg.\u00a0Administrator<\/i>)
\n4. Click Edit<\/strong>
\n5. From the user_password row, click the Function drop-down menu and choose MD5<\/strong>
\n6. In the box to the right of MD5, replace the existing encrypted password with your new password in plain text
\n7. Click the GO<\/strong> button located towards the bottom of the page<\/p>\n

That is all you have to do to reset the password.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
