password

[billybond]

My password wouldn't work when I try to log into Easymod........how can one check if its the right one I am using ?
I am 100% sure its the right one.......but it seems not to work now................any help out there for me ?

[billybond]

Is there any one out there ?

The only way to do that is to google for an md5 calculator and then use that to generate a pass.
Then go into the database in the config table search for EM_password
And change the value there with the md5 hashed pass you got from the md5 calculator.

this is really quite simple. go here:
http://www.vnpower.org/web-tools/MD5-Encode.html

type in the password that you want to create, type it in again, click the button.
on the next page will be a long string of characters.

copy/paste that string into a text file and save it.

now, using phpmyadmin or whatever your host provides for database access,
( these instructions assume phpmyadmin)
go to your phpbb database, find the config table ( default name is phpbb_config , yours may have a different prefix)

click the browse tab at the top of the screen.
go to the second of third page of results,
find the EM_password field.
click on the edit/pencil icon
on the next page, replace the long string of characters in the value field with the string of characters you saved earlier.

click go,

close out phpmyadmin.
go back to your board, go to EM, enter your new password.

that's it.
