Would you mind explaining how to do this? Im fairly stupid when it comes to MYSQL databases. I dont know how to connect to it or modify it. I havent had much luck in finding a tutorial for complete newbs either. I tried phpmyadmin but could not figure out how to install it.
Im pretty desperate at this point. Any help would be good.

Everytime I go back to the forum after the admincp it says
"Your password is 423 days old, and has therefore expired.
Please change your password using this page."
And have you done so? It sounds like you have the option on that requires passwords to be reset. So, reset the password and then you should be able to login to the forum and the admincp.
