My forum was hacked today! Talk about feeling robbed! But, it might be my own fault. I tried, but, never found instructions for changing my admin password. Yes, I left it as: admin. And, yes, I know: Duuuhhh. But I left it that way partly because I have a small non-profit website with only a few visitors everyday, and, because I simply couldn't find the instructions for changing my admin password!!!!
How do I change my admin password? Currently some adolescent in Turkey is the master of my Talk forum, having changed my admin info to his!
And, Richard, when you say that security measures have been taken in the last few months, how does that apply to someone who installed snitz 6 weeks ago? I'd like some calendar dates!
Despite the problems and the Turkish terror,
still love snitz forums,

download your DB and open it. open the table called FORUM_MEMBERS and look for the Admin account in it. under the column M_PASSWORD, you can find and change the Admin Password. re-upload the DB and you should be fine. might also want to change your strConnString

You'll need to apply the bug fixes for which the 2nd post in this thread has links:

I don't think the fixes are six month old. At least two of them have around a week.
