well,evidently I am a moron and somehow deleted my -member_test.cgi in the members directory in my UBB6 setup that has been working since like 2003. the forum can be accessed, but I don't want to do a full reinstall (1. I don't have the files, and 2. I don't know how(i am not the original webmaster)). So basically my question is how do i recover the control panel without destroying the board and the 4000 active members accounts and pm's?

Well, the passwords are stored plain text, so just edit the member file of an admin user and change (or use) the password
