PhPBB admin password not accessible

Hello, I can't access my admin panel on my phpbb forum. I have requested a new password from the forum and it sent it, but it doesn't work.

I had a plugin once that lets you access the database and delete members/access passwords etc...

I can't remeber what it is called. Does anyone know?

thanks

 

you can access it on phpmyadmin

 

its just hex key in there - not the actual password.

 

Have you installed any MOD?

 

hmmm .. i think updating the db password with a new hex password ( of a known word ) would fix the issue.. ofcourse your password woudl get reset in such a case.

I would have thought the password on the database will be MD5 encrypted and so just encrypt a known word in md5 and replace the one in the database with that

 

I think Phpbb using md5 encrytion not hex, am I right?
replace the admin password value in database with :-

e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e

Code (markup):

And login using this password :- 123456 , You can change password after that.

 

Yeah I thought it was md5 as well, although you don't have to go with 123456 there are many sites out there to code whatever string you choose into md5

 

thanks. i will see if it works.
