Can you register and login without Admin activation?
Do you have access to PHPMyAdmin?

If both answers are yes do the following:
1. create a new user with a specific password.
2. open PHPMyAdmin and copy the MD5 hashed password from
that users password field to the password field of the admin
account
3. login using that password

If any of the questions answers NO, then you've got a problem.

Maybe he has upgraded from version 6. I think the pw for admin is blank by default. If not, do as he says above, type in a new admin_password and use MD5 one time and run. Then go to the table again, and run MD5 one more time (do not touch the admin pw it self). V7 encrypts the information 2 times MD5.

Yes - again, this is v7.xx

There is my own user password and then there is version 7.x's admin password. In otherwords, in order to create a new panel, I need to input my v7.x admin password. If I am simply logging in and approving link submissions, I only need to input my user password.

So again, what are the steps to recover my Admin Passwrd?

Try copying the user password to the admin password field (so your useraccount has the same password for logging in and doing admin stuff). This is done through PHPMyAdmin

After that change your admin password in your profile. This is done through PHP fusion> Edit Profile

I have another way.
Open a php file and write in it this code:
<?php
echo md5(md5("paas"));
?>

Run it.
Go to PHPMyAdmin.
And copy the output to your admin password field.
Why this way?
user password and admin password should NOT be same.
The way above may cause problem, I think. :)

Do as I said! Open up phpMyadmin, find your user, in users table, and view it. Then just type in a new admin password in the correct field and MD5 it one time, then go back and just MD5 it one more time.

I know but setting the Admin password the same as the users password through PHPMyAdmin
solves the problem. I also stated that he / she should change the admin password afterwards.

I didn't know that the code you specified would work. Nice. Saved it to my code Db. Thanks!
