I would appreciate your thoughts whether this i bug or I am not doing something correctly. As administrator, after setting up the forum, I requested from the log in panel , a new password to be sent via email. It was and I used that password to log in successfully HOWVER when I chose the ACP option at the bottom of the page ,I was requested to reconfirm my password. The issue/problem is that UseBB does not recognise anymore the new password sent by email and which i used successfully to log in nor does it accept the original password..thoughts please. Howard

I guess this must be a bug.

Try changing this in admin.php:
md5($_POST['passwd']) === $session->sess_info['user_info']['passwd']


To this:
md5($_POST['passwd']) == $session->sess_info['user_info']['passwd']


It's in there twice. Please let me know if it works.

Thanks for the info but I made the changes and it still has the problem. After applying the two changes I requested a new password by email (that worked fine), used that PW in the email to log in (that worked fine) but using it on the ACP panel doesnt. I am using 0.8A. Howard

I tested this and couldn't reproduce it.

Did you change anything to the source code? Maybe send me your database SQL dump to contact at usebb.net.
