Brf: Its possible that I used a different version of that bit of SQL, as several suggestions can be found, although I thought that was it. But the SQL I copied (which was very similar indeed) most definitely did write the password in clear text.It does not. The password it adds is21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
which is the hash foradmin
Everyone else: thanks for your contributions in this Saga: one way or another the board is now accepting logins, although I have just one more issue to resolve before it can be released (see below).
The next issue is getting a repacement jpg to display as an amended header image. in common with quite a number of other users, all recommendations tried so far fail to display the new image. I think that asking phpBB board creators to edit system files directly is not the wisest option: it should be possible to put some code behind an action button which could upload an image and make appropriate changes to the .css (etc) files, as is generally used in many other applications for file uploading.
Nearly there! I'll keep trying.
