Simply look in the database with PHPmyAdmin and if it's encrypted create another user account with the same variables with a new pass.

UPDATE nuke_users SET user_password='5F4DCC3B5AA765D61D8327DEB882CF99' where username='admin'

--- the new password is password an MD5 encryption

actually it would be nuke_authors not users.....users are just normal website user but the Superuser and all other admins are in authors.

Thanks Gavin, i really sometimes get confused with phpNuke and PostNuke.

Heres the correct query

UPDATE nuke_authors SET pwd='5F4DCC3B5AA765D61D8327DEB882CF99' where name='admin'

Is your superuser (aka admin login) another username other than admin....if so replace admin with that users.

Well what I would do is :

1. Create a new user e.g. test with a pass of test or anything.
2. Logon to the database, go to the users table and see the MD5 for the user test.
3. Then, edit the password field of the admin id in the database with that MD5 and then logon with the password test / whatever you gave.
