Good afternoon all.
I am having that common problem of logging in as Admin, and it is now happening with another user too.
I have cleared the cookies, and even changed that user's password directly in MySQL. However, I note that the other passwords appear to be encrypted in the database, whereas the directly changed Admin password is not, so I realise that I shouldn't do it that way anyway.
The board is new and not yet exposed to its target community.
So, I have noted the solution posted which involves creating user Admin1 though I'm not sure how that user is awarded admin privileges when we cannot login). However as I do not have phpAdmin installed (have I missed something there? I don't recall it being mentioned during installation) I cannot carry out those instructions.
Of course I can install phpAdmin if advised. But are there any special instructions as to how it should be linked with the phpBB installation?
All advice will be gratefully aknowledged.
