explain with details

Total Number of users is 276. My ID in vBulletin is 1. When I convert vBulletin to phpBB the user id changes to 279. According to phpBB Support Team UserID 1 in phpBB is for Guest Account and UserID 2 is for the founder. But I don't get that UserID. And also UserID 2 is blank in phpBB after converting.

well, you can update id's then
after you have converted VB to PHPBB your id is 279, now you wana set it to 2.

UPDATE Your_Table_Name
SET user_id =2
WHERE userid=279 

*Before you make it live,
unit test it hard by loging in to your forum with different userid's. Ofcourse on your localhost


Good Luck!

Now I am getting "You are not authorised to request a new password." when I try to reset password. But what might be the reason Its not setting my account id to 2? Is is it because last 4 registered users are spambots?

just login to your DB and change your pass. i'm not sure what encryption MySQL uses but give it a try.
and then update your id.
Remember keep a backup file and don't touch it, do all the manipulation on copied version

Just found it has something to do with group ids. The default group id is 5 for administrators but after converting it changes to 21
