PHPBB help, password loss

i changed the admin name in the db to Cyrus, then later, couldn't login,
so i did a forget password and apparently the username/email does not exist. in my database i also changed the password, any idea on how i get back into my phpbb adm section

any help at all

Try to edit on phpmyadmin, where it says username don't change your username there, just change the email account then use forget password.

From PhPMyAdmin:

Click the corresponding table that stores username and password information: phpbb_users

Click Browse located towards the top of your screen so that a list of users display

Find the account of user that needs to be changed (eg. Admin)

Click Edit

From the user_password row, click the Function pull down menu and choose MD5

In the box to the right of MD5, replace the existing encrypted password with your new password in plain text

Click the GO button located towards the bottom of the page

thanks both of you, i got it back now.
