Problem with admin login after restoring to new domain (Technics)

Hello,

My problem is quite straightforward but I haven't found a solution yet :

I was obliged due to a ddos attack on my webhost to change server. So I backed up my site and re-installed it (including the MLF database).

The forum works but there is a problem : I can't log in to the site with my admin account. If I try to change the password, I receive the email at my old domain name email address (this I find completely normal), but when I copy the link onto \forum\ I get the login message 'invalid code'.

I'm presuming that's because the MLF code is still thinking that my site's domain name is the old one and so thinks the login code should be appended to the old domain address. However I can't access the old site, so I can't change the password there!

So is there any easy way to correct the information that the login page is basing itself on?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards.
