    I integrated bbPress with my wordpress site, by logging in as the admin of bbpress and changing the Database and cookie settings needed to integrate to wordpress. during this process, i forgot to specify the relationships between user privelages in wordpress and bbpress. As a result, I don't have an admin account of bbpress.
    Does any one know the php file which is responsible for specifying the relationship translation between wordpress and bbpress,so i can have an administrator for my forum:s

    Got to this thread via Google Search.
    I have the answer for your question. You need to get bbPress admin privileges back to the user.
    Here is a portion of my tutorial on my blog : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/05/integrate-bbpress-forum-wordpress-setup/

    Open the table wp_usermeta or whatever you are using as your table prefix.

    Change the value of following:

    * bb_capabilities => a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}
    * wp_capabilities => a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;} (make sure this is the value)
    * wp_user_level => 10 (make sure this is the value)

    You may have different fields if you have chosen to change the default table prefix.
