Hi Guys and Gals

My little site, which only had a few members was hacked back at christmas, but with personal reasons I couldn't deal with it.

Anyway, turns out it was hacked because of an admin and the hacker fighting and the hacker thought it was my friends site so took it upon himself to wreck it

My problem is, I am God Admin but i have forgotten the password where I changed it. The Hacker deleted me from the forums so I cant do anything there either.

How can I reset my God Admin password so I can change the home page and get myself running the forums again? I was going to uninstall the whole PHPnuke site and re-install but even with instructions, I wouldn't be able to do that Razz

Thanks in advance, I hope you cleaver people can help. I use to have a password reset code from this site, but I can't find that now either.... Confused

Enter phpmyadmin, go to nuke_authors and delete all acounts except yours (god, the first one). Then change its password to

Code:

and save.

Then go to your admin.php and login with the pass "Password" (no quotes).

You need database access, thus you need phpMyAdmin
Ask your host if they have it installed for your use
