I have tried this
Download this file admin_passreset.asp Unzip it and upload to your forum directory and then run it. This should allow you to overwrite the existing admin password.
But it keeps sending me to the normal login page.
Is there any way to get this to work please ?
Thanks

This is a popular one if you do a search.
Create a new account and note the ID number
Download Config.asp
Change the value in this line (around line 82) for the id of the account you just created.
Const intAdminMemberID = 1
Upload the file and your test account is now super admin.
You can log in with the test account and update your password for the old admin account in it's profile, then change the value back and delete test account if you wish. |

| I have the same issue. I have inherited the forum with no password, admin_passreset.asp returns me to the login page and self registration is turned off. I have full access to the SQL server (MS) and the webserver. Any ideas? |

That doesn't sound like 'inherited' to me...more like 'found something'.
If you don't know ANY password for the forum, all you can do is open up the database, and disable the 'disable registration'.
Check the forum_config table in the db. |

| I can't find that value in either FORUM_CONFIG or FORUM_CONFIG_NEW. I am the new web admin and my predecessor left NO documentation for ANYTHING. |

Set STRPROHIBITNEWMEMBERS to 0, just as STRRESTRICTREG.
Then register, and note down the member ID you're getting.
Look it up in the DB, and copy the content of the password column of your new account over to the same column of the admin account.
Now you can log in using your password, and the old admin account. |
