phpBB Password Changing
Before CFMBB our company used the phpbb if our clients needed a forum. Getting the passwords for the admin area was always a pain. The client would forget their password and I would have to go in, change the email address for the administrator account and go through the reset process. A while ago I found a better way to do this and forgot to mention it. Simply go into your mysql client or command line and run this query:
Select md5('NewPassword');
Then you can cut and past the results into the password section in the database if you are using a gui or you could do something like this:
update phpbb_users set user_password = md5('NewPassword') where username='randy';
I am not sure if this will work in the V3 of phpbb or not. It works in the latest version of 2.x
