lunchbox · **Password question -** 07-03-2003, 02:20 AM

How do i recover a lost super user password...I had a partner working with me on the site...he got pissed because i made him move out of my house. So he stole the admin password. I pay for the site..so rightfully the site is mine i would like to know if there is a way??

Using phpMyAdmin go to the nuke_authors table and make your pass dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964
that will make it Password, then just login and change it.

If you OWN the site, then you should have ALL the access to your Webhost, FTP, MySQL etc. Right?
If he changed ANY of that password stuff, contact your webhost IMMEDIATELY and have them change your webhosting package name and pass for everything.

Can you still get to all your Files vis FTP? And can you get to your MySQL database using phpMyadmin?
If all he did was change the admin pass then you can still get into it with the method I gave you above. As long as you can still access your database through phpMyadmin.

ok i do see all the files in the mysql...now...he installed the site...do i need to reinstall it or is there something i can do to activate it from there...as far as i can tell he did something to the site that it will not show up from the url www.ww2tfd.com and i am assuming he did it straight from the site because as far as i know all the passes are changed

Looks liek he moved some stuff around.
What you are seeing there is what woudl be on your FTP. MySQL is different. It is your database.
Do you have access to your MySQL database?

PM me ALL your info you have to access your site and I may be able to fix it.
I need
FTP access info
MySQL access info
and any other pertinent information.
