    Hi guys, i had a problem logging in to my mybb forum admin panel i could not remember my password so i clicked reset.

    However since then i have not been able to log in at all, even when i remembered my password. As obviously it has reset its self, how do i find what it has reset its self too?


    Its not come through to my admin email address so i am not sure what to do?

    Will.

    Best way to retrieve your password is via phpMyAdmin and if the passwords is encrypted, simply provide a new encrypted password tht can be obtained via a free online tool like this,http://cybermachine.awardspace.com/encryption.php or this other for MD5 encryption, http://www.sitegizmos.com/index.php?pid=md5

    Login problems in forums can be the result of a non-fully propagated nameservers change, if this was made recently, or a wrong cookie setting that you can either verify once inside your admin CP or modifying the corresponding field via phpMyAdmin too.

    Cookies are set .you-domain.com (make sure to keep the leading dot) although in some cases is useful leave this field empty, if alredy has a setting causing the problem.
