dmkapital3, you can use a tool to generate an MD5 hash for any password you want. Just copy/paste the new hash into your database, in the members
table.
If you have the ability to run queries against the DB, you can use:
Code:
UPDATE xmb_members SET password="newMD5hash" WHERE username="User123" LIMIT 1;
You will need to replace "xmb_" with the appropriate label unless you stayed with the default settings. newMD5hash needs to be an MD5 hash (Google:
MD5 hash generator) and of course User123 should be the account you are manually setting the password to.
I will sign up on your board and try to get in touch with you.miqrogroove - 7-15-2023 at 11:47 AM
Sometimes it's easier to register a new username and then use SQL to change the user status to super admin. Then there's no fiddling with password
hashes.
