I don't think mods or admins can see the password, but they can change it.

You can only see a coded version of your users paswords, which cannot be decoded, even not by the Pentagon! Another possibilty is to change a users pasword to another pasword, which you know. That would allow you to go into the account of that user, but he will notice that is pasword has been changed!

Not necessarily. You CAN decode them. You just need to know how to manipulate and read hexadecimal values. Either way, finding the hexadecimal code for your user's password is fairly simple.

1.) Access phpMyAdmin
2.) Open the database for your forum
3.) Locate the table called "[your database's prefix]_users" (The prefix will usually be phpbb_ unless you changed it during installation)
4.) Click the "Browse Tab"
5.) Locate the row of the user you are looking for
6.) Locate the colum titled "user_password" There, you will see a hexadecimal code for that user's password. Now, it is encrypted, so I can't tell you how to break the encryption algorithm, but I would think it would be fairly simple to decode the hexadecimal coding.

Have fun breaking the encryption algorithm!

Oh, and by the way, why would the Pentagon want to hack a phpBB 2 database?

yes Admiral Lyoko Samus has right it can be decoded, the password in phpbb are stored in md5 hashing format, if the user has a 4 characters lenght you can deconde in few hours with a normal p4 2500 or athlon, if the user has 5 some weeks 24/7 and if they have a 6 characters, say good byes, maybe can take more than you can live

.

Or if you are so interested in decode md5 hashing you can visit http://passcracking.com/ here this guys in some hours can decode your hash, of course if you paid.

MDS5 cracking isnt easy, without a computer I dont think you would be able to it would take an age but why would you want to, if you did they could change it easier than you could undo it.

Using Mods With phpBB2 - How to do correctly. (0)

phpBB2 has hundreds of MODs. You can find many of them at phpBB Hacks here . Some of them are

download. I 'port' MODs from the phpBB2 standalone BBS to the 'ported' version of

MxBB Portal: A phpBB2 Based Portal - (3)

Ha anyone tryed the mxBB Portal that integrates with phpBB2? It allows you to have a Portal kind of
like PHP-Nuke or Mambo or XOOPS. What you do is set up one database that mxBB and phpBB2 share, then
you install first your phpBB2 forum, after that you install the mxBB Portal. The neat thing about
it is that you can use all the mods for phpBB just like you would in the standalone verion. This is
because except for the integration of the mxBB and the phpBB the forum is still standalone. I
have set the system up on one of my servers and am still learning how to use it...
