There is more elegant way when you have an access to backend database and you have forgotten user password.

Query the login and email

SELECT login, email FROM fud30_users;

and change the email to valid one

UPDATE fud30_users SET email="my(at)valid(dot)email' WHERE login=admin;
COMMIT;

Remediate the password on password recovery screen in fudforum (link from logon dialog).
* Follow email instructions and that's it (follow one reset link and wait for 2nd email with initial password)

Of course when your mail system is not workin is much dificult (constructing SHA hashes again). Does anyone try to manipulate with privileges or user id ?
