Somehow my password got corrupted

[Dwedit]

I have a copy of FluxBB that has been upgraded many many times, and it was originally Punbb.

I'm not sure how this happened, but somehow my password became incorrect. I had to go into the database and manually change the hash. (You take the Password, append the Salt from the config file, compute SHA1, write that hash as lowercase hexadecimal)

If you moved from FLUXBB to FLUXBB_BY_VISMAN, then you need to check the settings in the /Include/config.php. For the last revision, it looks something like this:

<?php

$cookie_name = ...;
$cookie_domain = ...;
$cookie_path = ...;
$cookie_secure = ...;
$cookie_seed = ...;
$cookie_samesite = 'Lax'; // Strict, Lax or None

$salt1 = ''; // <-- Here the line is empty (zero length) for the database Punbb/Fluxbb
