Yes, you must do this yourself.  bbPress can't knew exactly where wp- 
config will be on each setup.

Thanks.  That's a new WP core function but only exists in trunk.   
I've added it into pluggable.php to avoid this situation.

You must have integrated an old bbPress install with WP (that is, you  
must have run the bbPress install script before integrating the  
two).  If that's the case, none of your bbPress users exist anymore  
(they're not defined in WP's user table), and your admin account is  
inactive.  To fix your admin account, you'll have to change the usermeta

bb_capabilities = a:1:{s:8:"inactive";b:1;}

to

bb_capabilities = a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

for your admin account.  (Where 'bb_' is your $bb_table_prefix.)

As for your other users, there is a script I wrote here: http:// 
bbpress.automattic.com/ticket/429
to import bb users into WP.  You need to save it as test.php and save  
it into the main directory of your bbPress install.  Browse to it and  
obey the following rules (it will not check that you obey the rules,  
but if you don't all your data will be eaten).

If a bb user has the same login as a WP user, you must map those  
users to one another.

Each WP user may only appear ONCE in the right hand column.

I've tried this out on one site and it worked with only one hitch  
(some user was overwritten that shouldn't have been).  Anyway, if you  
choose to run it, be careful and BACK EVERYTHING UP!
