    I have managed to lock myself out of my forum.:(
    I created a "smart" user name I cant remember now, and cant get my password restored without the user name.. Is there any other way to reset the password? I have C-panel on my domain..

    open up phpmyadmin - Find the table (view your config.php file to find the database name if you are not sure what it is called)
    On the left once you select the database you will see something like TEXT_TEXT, Find and Click the one that ends in _Users
    It will list all your forum usernames + bots, Scroll through until you find it. :)

    Thanks for the offer:)
    I have looked in the tables but I have not found it yet..
    I have a web host with excellent support service, so I sent your reply to them(they also installed the forum ..)
    If they reply as fast as they use to I think i will have my account pretty fast..
