Oh man, I can't seem to login and when I use the lost password feature it don't send an email, it tells me it was sent succesfully but I never get anything. What do I need to do because I have not been able to login for weeks now and I could really do with logging in now. APB Forum Any help on this?
Are you the administrator, or do you otherwise have access to the MySQL database (No, not in a dodgy way :S) If you are, edit the MySQL database and md5-hash a password of which you can replace the existing one of yours in the database. Otherwise, you'd need to contact an administrator, somehow. :S
Yeah I do have full access to the database, I looked at changing the password in the database but will it actually be the password I set as it is in hash?
set the password to e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e Code (markup): in the database, and your new password will be "123456" without the quotes go change it right away then
Still no luck I can get any help on the official PHPBB forums either, I am so lost. I have tried uploading all the files again also with no luck. I assume it is databases related, I don't see what else it could be, I just don't get why it wont email me my password or whatever.
Sign up as a new user, then make that user an admin by editing the admin flag in the phpBB3 user table. Then use that to change your password. Otherwise, it could be possible to change your email to whatever you want from phpmyadmin, then just use the forgot password tool.
a lot of web servers disable mail sending due to spam but umm the only other option is to do what tobias said sorry
phpBB3 no longer uses md5 for hashing passwords in the database. Use the following hash, without the quotes. "$H$9Ae3Uk.ECdWW5ya13M4ErWhr4c.761/" Your password is now "password", without the quotes.
Well the only thing that seemed to work was making a new user and adjusting it to an admin in PHPMyAdmin. I am really not sure wha happened to mess my original admin account up but it happened after I upgraded, anyway it is ok now. Thanks all for the help!
There appears to be some sort of bug in the mailer. I'm testing this on a system that doesn't even have a mailer installed & I'm being told the message was sent successfully. You should probably bring this up at phpbb.com.
it can happen because u must have a long mail queue on server Or your server is on RBL spam list and that email is rejected by yahoo or hotmail(admin email) Regards Alex
Hi, After updating the password in database also update user_login_attempts to zero. `user_login_attempts` = '0' Thanks
