Somehow I changed my password for login and forgot it. I tried to have email sent to me to change password but never receive the email from my website. Is there a way to go into my files and change password so I can login to my site under Admin? so I can get into my control panel.

If you're using vBulletin 4, you can reset a password with a query like this:
UPDATE vb_user AS user
set password = MD5(concat(MD5('pass1234'), user.salt))
WHERE userid = 1
update pass1234 and the userid (1) to fit your needs.Translations provided by Google.

Not sure what there is to explain... The query is run in phpMyAdmin or other tool and will update the password of the user specified.Translations provided by Google.

You can't put personal stuff like password and user name on forum for others to see and maybe hack into your site. that is why I used PM and let Wayne know. If it wasn't for personal information, everything would be carried out in forum. Which I have always done since joining vB. I figured next step was going to be Wayne asking about error and then PM it to him. I was just giving to him ahead of him asking for it.Comment
