Howdy,

Someone hacked into my forum and deleted my subadmin name and changed the password for my main admin name.

How do I reset my password so I can fix the mess they have made on the board.

Thanks

You can use phpMyAdmin to reset the password on your admin account - use the Browse tool to find the record, click the edit icon, then change the password field. In the dropdown menu to the left, choose "MD5", then submit the form.

Once you've regained access to your admin account, shut down the board and upgrade to 6.5 immediately.

Chances are that more than one account was compromised, so you should have all of your administrators and moderators change their passwords.
