I recently inherited a forum site for my car club when the previous admin simply quit. The easiest way for me to run the site and make the change seamlessly would be to log in to his account and go from there. Problem is I don't know his password. I don't know how long the hosting will stay, and I need to get in and get a copy of everything moved to my server. Is there any way to access his account, or get the password? I can't contact the guy and don't want to start from scratch.
The site is phpbb based, btw.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!
