To change the user profile url, you can use this – it will build a link to the /profile/username and return that in the bbp_get_user_profile_url function in includes/users/template.php :

add_filter('bbp_pre_get_user_profile_url', 'mjj_profile_link');
function mjj_profile_link( $user_id ){
	$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );
	$user_nicename = $user_info -> user_nicename;
	return '/profile/' . $user_nicename;
}

This would go in your functions.php file or bbpress-functions.php if you’re using that. Never modify those files in the admin area, only do them if you have ftp access and can undo anything that goes wrong!
