They include the fixes in the new version and release that.

I don't know if that could work with YAF. I have done it with other software but not with YAF.

If the above works, and you find the admin pass field, then change it to

and the password for the above is

I don't really understand what an upgrade has to do with a admin lost password....

All infos what to change are posted here:

http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_postsm43946_-Lost-Password--option-does-nothing.aspx#post43946

you have to modify the file PageSecurityModel.cs

Remove the lines...


case ForumPages.recoverpassword:
if (PageContext.BoardSettings.DisableRegistrations)
{
//problem code below
YafBuildLink.AccessDenied();
}

break;

and change line

// no security features for login/logout pages
if (ForumPageType == ForumPages.login || ForumPageType == ForumPages.approve || ForumPageType == ForumPages.logout)

// no security features for login/logout pages
if (ForumPageType == ForumPages.login || ForumPageType == ForumPages.approve || ForumPageType == ForumPages.logout || ForumPageType == ForumPages.recoverpassword)

Ps: yaf doesnt resets passwords on an ugrade.
