I have inherited a PhpBB3 installation from an uncontactable previous admin who didn't leave me the password, or any mechanism to retrieve it.
It runs on a MySQL database, which I have logged into with full privileges in order to change the admin password. Unfortunately, PhpBB3 apparently uses a complex multistage salted hashing technique that I'm not familiar with. Given full access to the DB, how do I generate a valid password hash to replace the old one with?
I tried a simple MD5 of the known password of a normal user, and it doesn't match the DB entry.
Any other way to reset the admin password via the DB is also helpful, as long as it works!
