open your db in phpmyadmin. Edit the user id of your locked admin account. It is currently user id 2. make it a few higher than your highest member, so if you have 100 members, make this account 104. The log in with your active admin account and edit your locked account via acp. change the current password and be sure it says the account is unlocked. Now go back to phpmyadmin and set the user id back to 2. You should be able to log in to this account now

your forum is made up of 2 parts. Your files and your database. Your account info is in your database, under phpbb_users.
Your web hosing account should have a link to phpmyadmin ( a program to edit your databases) You need to use this program, or whatever database editing program your web host provides, to edit your locked account.
