Recover admin password!

I've just lost my admin password, how can i recover it? I'm kinda dumb that make that hard password so i can't even remember it now

Alright so let's get this straight..

 

IF You got access to FTP, you life is saved. Follow the following ( if you got access to FTP ):You'll personally need to rename the admin dir to something completely different, that you only know and just made up.

Once you've done that. You would want to remove your ACP login. So basically when you visit the ACP link, there will be no ACP login, you just "bypass" the login for ACP.

To do that, do this:Open: admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php and find:

$validationStatus  = self::member()->sessionClass()->getStatus();$validationMessage = self::member()->sessionClass()->getMessage();

Replace with:

$validationStatus  = true;#self::member()->sessionClass()->getStatus();$validationMessage = self::member()->sessionClass()->getMessage();self::$handles['member']->setMember(1);

Replace the number 1 with the desired member ID to log in with all the time.

 

Ok now ACP login is officially removed. BUT remember you "RENAMED" the admin cp and you only know what it is. Do go your admin cp link and there should be no login there. Now head over to members and choose your profile and override your password to something you will know more commonly.

 

I hope I helped.

The password for the ACP should be the same as your forum account.. so why not use the Forgot Password option?

Use forgot password system or then via Direct Admin via database you can change it

Make a new file in your root directory

 

Run

 

 

<?php require_once( 'initdata.php' );require_once( CP_DIRECTORY.'/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php' );$registry = ipsRegistry::instance();$registry->init(); IPSMember::updatePassword(YOUR_MEMBER_ID,'YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD');

 

 

Uhm, 

 

 

<?php

 

require_once( 'initdata.php' );

require_once( CP_DIRECTORY.'/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php' );

$registry = ipsRegistry::instance();

$registry->init();

 

IPSMember::updatePassword(1,'login123');

?>

 

tried that, horribly failed xD
