Hi everyone,

I've just forgotten the link I used to get into the admin section of the forum. I've no idea of the username and password either lol.

It's been a few days and I've completely forgotton it.

I've tried http://www.mydomain.com/forum/admin

It's a daft question but I'm stuck (:

    Thanks.

    Now I have to try and remember what username and password I used.

    Is there a way to find this out via access to the files via FTP?

  • TimTim Vanilla Staff

    No, they are only in the database, and the password is encrypted anyway.

    The password would have been something I had chosen myself or was it given to me at the start?

    Got it. Phew. Could have been a total reinstall.

    Thanks a lot for your prompt reply in helping me.
