Or just search your phpbb_users table in your database for users that
have a user_level = 1.  Those are admins.  User_level of 0 coresponds
to regular users and User_level of 2 are moderators.

It is very hard to find secret admin accounts if the forum has too
many users... you must check every account...

So, here is a simple PHP script, that will show a list of all admin
accounts on your phpBB forum.
Just simply copy this file to phpBB directory...

After you find a attacker admin accounts, and remove admin status
from those accounts, you can delete this script, and of course, you
should upgrade your phpBB to the latest version.

A demonstration of this script can be found at
