Alright, so I am the owner of a forum. It says my password is incorrect, I tryed every password I could think of. There is no way it was any of them anyways, since the fact I didn't change it. I did the whole password reminder thing and when I check my mail the message is blank, but so is all my spam messages. I click this is not spam and the message just goes away and isn't in my inbox. I don't know what to do.

I did this once before. What I did was go through the install process again (mysite.com/install.php) and when it got to the part to add a site username and password I just put in my new password.
It reinstalled SMF with the new password and also kept all previous posts and site content.

;)

You really shouldn't. It's easy to create a new admin account if you have access to the database, so you shouldn't need "backup accounts",
and any unused admin account lying around just creates an unnecessary risk to your forum...
