I have a user in drupal and in phpbb. I've removed the password from the user in phpbb. When I log in with drupal, I expect the password to synch to phpbb. The message says it synchs. But when I check the database, it's still empty. Of course, when I log in to drupal, I am not logged in to phpbb because it uses the wrong password.

How do I make it sync?

If I change the phpbb password manually to the same as drupal, then the dual log in works as well.

I used the patch here http://drupal.org/node/778702 and set drupal to master system. That fixed the problem.

After upgrading to RC1 this issue came up again. I applied the same patch again but it still doesn't work. I get the password synchronization message 3 times when I log in. So it seems that phpbbs database doesn't want to accept the change, or something is wrong with phpbbforum. I've tried all kinds of settings in phpbb, but can't find the solution.

I recently used the migrate module to migrate data to drupal. Migrate uses tablewizard, which suggest that you set up connections to other databases in your settings.php. Appearently, this makes phpbbforum confused. I removed the extra connections, and then the synching started working.

What migrate module you are talking about ? phpBB2Drupal ?

No it's just called Migrate.
