One of my forums got hacked today.

They locked the forum so i couldn't go in there anymore.
I tried to use the "forgot password" option, but i haven't receive any email yet.
I still can access the database, so i went in there email address is still mine.

I even changed the password from the database by registered at the other forum, and use that password code to replace the one that got hacked. Still i can't get in.

Question is: Is there anyway that i can unlock the forum from the database? how to do that? which table? which row?


Thanks!

If they hacked you, and you just merely "repaired" the data, they are most likely going to hack it again. You need to find the vulnerability, and fix it.
