How To Change The phpBB Admin Password?

You must first find your phpBB’s database in order to reset the admin password.

The database information is located in the config.php file, which is located in the application’s installation directory. Locate the database by opening the file in cPanel’s File Manager and going to $dbname. As an example, let $dbname = ‘user_phpdb’;

After you’ve found the precise file, follow these instructions to use phpMyAdmin to modify the phpBB admin password:

• Login to cPanel and go to phpMyAdmin.
• Select the phpBB database present on the left hand side.
• Click on the ‘users’ table (for example – phpbbs_users).
• Click on ‘Browsers’ and find the username that you want to edit (admin).
• Click on ‘Edit’.
• Enter the new password in the ‘user_password’ row.
• Click on the ‘Function’ drop down menu and select MDS.
• Save all the changes by clicking on the ‘Go’ button.

After completing this process, access the phpBB admin page and check if you can login with your new password.
