phpBB3 password reset

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!
