    How to get my userid and password from my phpBB forum.

    can I get that some where on the database?

    or from the files?

    I have the cpanel password for that site.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Are you sure it's yours?
    Because If you telled us, both: you ask for the user id and the password it seems like hacking to me!
    Correct me If I'm wrong!

    Shouldn't you know your username and password?

    I agree with jorik, I think you are hacking, sorry if not.

    Thanks for the questions without any answer.
    I have about 350 domains. So some times I do forget the passwords.

    The one I was asking for is
    http://www.AdSenseAlternatives.com

    if you look there other than the two guys posted this month, the last posts were made a year ago.

    I did not vist that site for a while.

    So, I did forget and got them for a file I saved on my computer.

    Hope you will respond with sense next time. (Just don't hurt other people)

    Thanks

    perhaps using the lost password feature you can reclaim control over your forum?

    Use phpMyAdmin to search for the table with users and passwords.
    I found this short manual:

    Within phpMyAdmin:
    open de phpbb database
    Click the corresponding table that stores username and password information: phpbb_users
    Click Browse located towards the top of your screen so that a list of users display
    Find the account of user that needs to be changed (eg. Admin)
    Click Edit
    From the user_password row, click the Function pull down menu and choose MD5
    In the box to the right of MD5, replace the existing encrypted password with your new password in plain text
    Click the GO button located towards the bottom of the page
