General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everything... / Re: Unable to log in - Password reset not working
« Last post by ZorKas on Today at 12:09:04 PM »It's not a password compromise since the forum has been hacked.
To protect accounts:
In the SMF forum the administrator has the option to reset passwords. To reactivate the account you must enter the new password.
To do this you must first enter your email "REGISTRATION ORIGIN" to receive the reactivation link.
- In case the email is different from the original one, it is lost.
- In case the user profile e-mail is deleted, it is lost.
- In case the MySQL database is corrupted, it is lost.
- In the case where the MySQL database has been modified, it's lost
It should be understood that the Comodo forum works with the SMF application. This application has all the scripts under PHP associated with a MySql database which contains the IDs and passwords of the user accounts and other values.
All MySql databases must be backed up every day, preferably at night. This is an essential function because in case of a crash, there is no means of restoring if the dump is non-existent.

Just being curious... for what reason can't members login at the moment?
Is it another reason than that their passwords were being compromised?
