I seemed to have locked us all out of our front page.
If we go into the forums its ok, but to edit our front page, not one of our admins can log into that.
http:///Pure/admin.php have site there as well, just so knew to this was not sure if I should post my site.
Is there a way to reset the password

What's the full URL to your site? Did you try using phpMyAdmin to clear your authors table and create a new God account?

In phpMyAdmin, search for the authors table (usually "nuke_authors") and hit the Empty button on that table. Go to your admin.php to create a new God account

No luck, I am so new to all this, that I think I am screwing it up somehow.
When I go into the ftp site, I can not find the nuke_authurs, while I am in phpmyadmin, I can see it, but am not sure what I am doing.

Open up the nuke_authors table using phpMyAdmin, hit the link that says Empty

Faqs are helpful and made for recurring questions and many guys have this password problem. I had this issue too but there are also other tricky ways to solve this. Glad that you fixed your problem. Smile
