Can I recover bridge password?
« on: April 11, 2006, 04:32:03 am »
For some reason my credentials at the bridge manager do not seem to allow me to disable it. I'm not exactly sure if there is way (thru the mySQL database) I can recover it.

Also, I'm not sure which bridge file is for PHPBB .18 and greater. The files aren't very explanatory in that regard.

Okay, I guess phpbb 2.0.18 and up is phpbb2018.inc.php.

Well, kind of. I'm still wondering where in the mySQL database I should search to recover the original bridge manager login credentials.

Use the original admin account created during installation.

Uh. That's just it, I don't know it. It's the same login as I used with my bridged forum but I don't know the password.

disable bridging manually by editing your database directly using a tool like phpMyAdmin, browse coppermine's config table and set bridge_enabled to "0". Then use the "forgot password" link on the login page to retrieve a password for the original admin account. Locking yourself out just because you forgot your admin account is not actually a coppermine issue, but a matter of smart website management imo though.
