Edit password in myphpadmin

[ronny]

I'm trying to recover access to an old invision board 3.4.7 that has just been left running for a couple of years with some activity.

The problem is that I can not remember the admin password, and since there is an issue with captcha the image is not seen, so normal password recovery is not possible.

Im a novice user, but i did manage to find my way to the ibf_members table, where i see my user and the md5 password hash and salt.
I then used this tool http://tools.curvejump.se/create-md5-hash to enter a new password, and updated members_pass_hash and members_pass_salt with the generated result

I used "Password" as the password and "abcde" as the salt which generated 82e7e51412abb261a498b7d5592ceb82

Afterwards i updated table members_pass_hash with: 82e7e51412abb261a498b7d5592ceb82

and members_pass_salt with abcde

But when trying to log in with my username found in members_l_username and using "Password" as password I get "Username or password incorrect."

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried Recovery Mode?

Scroll down near the end of this page for more info.

 

Actual scratch that, that will not reset the password for you.

I will PM you some suggestions.

There is no way in which to just change the password in the database unfortunately. Your best bet would probably be to create a new user, then change the group in PMA. We are unable to assist with old unsupported versions of the platform unfortunately.
