XF 1.5 Lost admin password, site is offline...

[Jimmy Vu]

Hello,

I have just migrate my Xenforo site to a new host. The site is up and running however I have the following issues:

- I lost admin password
- The site is currently offline and CAPTCHA isnot working properly for me to retrieve my password
- The old host was HTTPS and now I have only HTTP

What should I do to access admin area, and turn the site on

I have access to host, database

Thanks for any support

Best,
Jimmy

If you have another user id
Add it as super admin in config.php file under library.

Then login using it and turn board on + reset your pass.

I m not sure it will work or not, but in order to work any id as admin it need to be mention in config.php file.

Try it, if works then ur problem get solve. Else wait for expert to comment on it
