Forgot password to admin account on SMF

[goldenf2]

Is there a way to reset it some how or check what you put in?

My email is connected with the account but Im not getting any emails to reset the password

@peppermi I think he means the admin account on his website.

Hi, try checking your Junk Folder. If that doesn't work then go to phpMyAdmin in CPanel, then go to the database with the SMF tables. Go to your members table and check your admin accounts id.

Then, click SQL and put the following code in:

UPDATE smf_members SET passwd = SHA1(CONCAT(LOWER(member_name), 'YOURPASSWORD')) WHERE id_member = 1

You might have a different table prefix, so if you do, then change smf_member to YOURPREFIX_members.

Change id_member = 1, with id_member = YOURID . Then, change YOURPASSWORD to what password you want.

Thank You
