Hey there!

I've recently converted my Phpbb3 forum to SMF, I can login to any other account, but I can't login to the Admin account, I get the message "Password security has recently been upgraded. Please enter your password again." I typed in my password again and I get "Password incorrect"

I've edited my "LogInOut.php" but still it hasn't worked.

Can you please look at the attachment?

Thanks!

I seem to recall something happening with the passwd_flood on a conversion I did a bit ago. If you can look at that column in your members table for your account and see if it has something in it? It might say 3 or something. Edit your row and remove the number from the passwd_flood column and see if it allows you to login after that.

You may want to backup your DB before making any changes like this though first. :)

There's also the possibility to reset your password with phpMyadmin, just use this sql code and replace 'newpw' with your preferred password and 'admin_name' with your admin's login name.
UPDATE smf_members SET passwd = 'newpw', password_salt = '', passwd_flood = '' WHERE member_name = 'admin_name';
