VB Database problem with password...

[Kingdombuilder]

I mistakenly changed the password type in my database for users and when i changed it back the damage was done. I backed up the database before this happened but my database file is very large and it times out when i try to restore it. Is there a way to just restore my user table from the backup file?

You should import it via shell:
Restoring The Database via SSH/Telnet (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/../docs/html/maintenance_ssh_restore) or
Restoring The Database via phpMyAdmin (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/../docs/html/maintenance_phpmyadmin_restore)

If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper (http://www.mysqldumper.de/en/index.php)
MySQLHotxcopy (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134821&highlight=mysqlhotcopy)
Bigdump (http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php)
