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.

i thought they md5 hased the passwords??

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

Hah, yeah that does make more sense than resetting it .

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