You could always just go into the database and reenter the information directly into the table(s)...

That's easy - just insert the appropriate information, use whatever value you want for the password and then use the "forgot password" feature to get a new one :P

I just got the forum up and running, I need to get all of the content buttons installed and don't really know what I'm doing. I need to know how to add topic lists I also wanted to rename my forum, where do I go for that?

Thanks,

Lost

Admin -> Look on the side panel for Edit Server Settings and click it and then scroll down until you see Message Board Name and then change it, scroll to the bottom and click save, if you have MSNM or can email me i will help you set everything up how you want it.
