Hello dkbame,
I believe you can simply reset your password by going to https://yourforum.com/reset.
You only need email address of administrator account.

Ive lost my admin pass 🙁
Can you do a tutorial for me to get back into my admin account?

Thanks Nareik. Here’s the tutorial for letsencrypt. https://www.installing.in/how-to-install-letsencrypt-with-nobebb-and-nginx/
