Select your database in phpmyadmin. -- Done
Click the config table in the left column. -- Done
In the main window click the browse tab -- Done
Use the > icon to get to the page with the EM_password field on it <-- No EM_anything found :(


Click the pencil icon next to that field
Type in your new password
Click submit.

Then either EM isn't installed or you're not in the right place.

OK, the advice given was never going to work.

Go into the MySQL database.

Find the table phpbb_config
Then find the entry "EM_password"

It will contain an encrypted version of the password.
Edit it, and replace the encryption with:

Code: Select all

d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
This changes the password to a blank password (just press enter).
Then you can just change the password to something that you will remember, in the EasyMOD Settings in the ACP.

I didn't take my time to install and understand phpMyAdmin.

My advice for beginners like me: re-install EasyMod following these instructions.
It's easy and quickly done. :D

Well if you didn't take the time to install phpMyAdmin, then there would be no installed phpBB, or EM for that matter.
I assume you just don't have access to phpMyAdmin.
