Depending on the forums there may be a way to simply change a few settings and everythign works all of a sudden. I have figured out what I need to do here, but I was wondering about something else. I am using PHPBB3 and I would like to know that if there is a way for someone to program a back door into the laguage in order to access the site and information even though they are not authorized? If so what do I need to look at in the code to make sure this doesnt happen?

Basically what you need to look for is any hard coded passwords/usernames or any instances in which a password/username and login wouldn't be required to view a specific page/ section of the site.
