2 bb forums password by Jarrod on 10-17-2007 at 09:54 AM
i have a mybb forum but i forgot the sql database password, i can reset the password but will it stuff up the other forum on the same database??

If both use the same database you'll need to change the password in both SQL config files of the forums.

No, the password for connection to the MySQL server isn't.
You can change it in inc/config.php, the setting:
code:
$config['password'] = '';

what i meant was the password wasn't hashed so i solved it by opening my existing config and reading the password

.Most PHP scripts don't hash the SQL password in the config file.
