I'm sure that this question has been asked, but I simply can not find an answer that fixes my problem.
When converting my forums over, everything functions properly, except all passwords are incorrect(lost?). I know that this is a known problem because of the phpBB3_Login_fix.xml file.
To use the login fix, am I supposed to load up the file previous to the conversion (Since I can't log in after)? I guess I don't understand the steps I'm supposed to take to get it to work.
Sorry if this has been asked, and thank you in advance for the help!
**After I typed this out, I went back and tried what I asked, and it worked, though now my admin account no long has admin access**
*After that, naturally, I found the post about losing admin access, so I queried :
UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = '1' WHERE memberName = 'yourusername'
naturally changing yourusername to my admin name, and it worked.
I have solved my problem, sorry for the post!
No worries. Everyone has questions and it feels even better when you answer your own question! I had the same problem when converting from phpBB3. Enjoy SMF and best of luck to you and your site!
Topic Solved
Now that I'm more familiar with it, I decided to load a test on the actual server. When I load up the login_fix, during the test phase, I get an error I did not get on my test server:
1. Execute Modification phpBB3_Login_Fix.xml Modification parse error
What shall I do?
Use this. This is the package that you need to upload. Notice that it is an archived package file ".tgz", not ".xml".
Upload this the same way you would upload a package and apply.

You generally recieve this when either the mod package is corrupted. You can also get it when temp folder in /Packages does not exists or isn't writable.
phpBB3_Login_Fix.tgz
this awesome mod did it perfectly
old phpbb users can now log in to the new smf forum smoothly
thx
