Check your email for the password email. Save that password somewhere. Now, open phpMyAdmin and take the password hash from the new user, and paste it into the password hash field for the admin user. Now, log into bbPress with your admin username. Delete the new user if you like.</p> <p>If you don't have access to the database, then why not just reinstall?</p> <p>I think you used to be able to put a line in your config.php like this: <code>$bb-&gt;new_keymaster = true;</code> Then run bb-admin/install.php again. </p> <p>Read more:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-login-1#post-795" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-login-1#post-795</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/recover-my-admin-password#post-15034 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:26:02 +0000 feldman 15034@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>didnt the installer post you your password ?</p> <p>maybe reinstall ? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/recover-my-admin-password#post-15030 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:17:25 +0000 PurpleCow 15030@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The password generated after installation was used to login first time.
