La password dell'admin di PHPBB è contenuta nel DB.
Il metodo consiste nel generare una nuova password cifrata con MD5 utilizzando ad esempio uno dei seguenti siti:

* http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php

* http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

ed incollare l'hash cifrato nel campo della password dell'utente admin.
