XF 2.0 Admin login not working

[tfindlay]

I think I inadvertently changed my admin password and now I can't login as admin. I am logged in at http://vmug.bc.ca/vmugforum/index.php. How do I fix this admin login issue?

I am not sure of the forum version I selected.

You can reset the password: https://vmug.bc.ca/vmugforum/index.php?lost-password/

That link takes me to the main public forum page. If I click Admin I get the usual login screen. I don't see anywhere to reset my admin password. What am I missing?

Your admin password is the same as your user password.

To login as admin I need to know what that password is. In order to reset my password I need to enter my existing password which is the one I don't know. How can I proceed?

So you can not log into your forum even as a user?

I am logged in as a user but if I were to log out I wouldn't be able to log back in because I don't have my password.

You need to log out, or open the site in a different browser in order to be able to reset your password.

Once you do either of those, clock on "Forgot your password"

Thanks! That did it! I had to use Chrome though because it didn't work on Safari.

Glad to hear you got it figured out.

Your browser saves your login settings, all you had to do was look them up in settings.

I tried that but I couldn't find anything for the forum.
