Hi,
I have a site built in Nibbleblog 4.0.5
I forgot the password to the panel.
I have access to files on the FTP server.
I tried the solution - Password Recovery Tool -> https://forum.bludit.org/viewtopic.php?t=1018 but it doesn't work.
Is there any solution? Maybe similar to Wordpress with password reset?

pass recovery from bludit won't work, as nibble utilises obsolete(?) crypt() password method during installation or password change.
probably the recovery method that sends data through e-mail is also obsolete or not anymore supported by the webhost - assuming there is such method in admin login window.

If you have access to webhosting admin panel, you could create an email account and enable catchall option, so that this would get all emails that are sent or received to/from non existing adresses.
Other way I'd try is to put up another instance of nibble blog, either on localhost or under subdomain of your webhost (eventually in a subfolder) only to generate user credentials to login and use it on old blog instance to which you lost access.
