there are 2 options

1) If you have NOT done any md5 modifications to your database simple use

2) If you have done md5 then you will need to open your database with something like phpmyadmin (most control panels already have this feature)

- find the "admin" table and edit the "password" field to  21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 thats the md5 hash for the word admin, so now you will be able to login with default password admin

add  new admin


INSERT INTO `admin` (`username`, `email`, `password`) VALUES ('yourname', NULL, 'yourpassword');

This didn't seem to work for me. I'm using V2.
Anyone have any ideas on how to recover a lost password for V2?

Hi,

I've tried everything suggested and it still doesn't work, not even an error message, it just seems to be refreshing the page. This is so frustrating now, would really like to get this sorted ASAP.

Any ideas?!?!?!

Thanks

Where is the admin table?  I lost my admin pasword and was trying to directly edit it in PhpMyAdmin and there is a member profile table but no table named admin.  I also tried the restore.php and just get a blank screen.

Anyone who can help would be appreciated.

That post was two years old... in the V1 boards... if you don't have an admin table, then you are using V3, so use these instructions in the wiki:
