Today i was going through on of our forums we are trying to setup. And i noticed i had forgotten my password. Got worried for a sec and then i realized everything is in MD5 encrypted format now a days so we just need to put new password. I still googled it up and found a very simple way to reset the password for admin or any user.

Simply open up your phpBB DB, go to user table.

Find the user you want to change password of.

Find the column by the name of “user_password”, and simply put…

This will reset your password to “123456″, without the quotes.

Hope this little tip helps!

Other day i was trying to install phpBB3 style on one of our forums. I was facing so many problems that i thought of posting on blog about it. First thing first. Do not upload using your root user of the server, otherwise the phpbb3 wont be able to access it.

Be sure to upload the style template to location of the forum_root/style/*

When uploading the template, make sure there is a file called “style.cfg” and 3 folders. Imageset, theme, and template.

After making sure to do all those things, the new template style should show up in the phpbb3 admin. Any problems let us know.
