3* Preparation

1. Register at forum?

2. Log in with account
   + UNCHECK "Log in automatically"

you do not need to register and login, if you browse on a forum
a ANONYMOUS (id=0) Session is opened and a Cookie created.

Now you must delete the phpbb2_sid cookie and write the exploit
code in the phpbb2_data cookie.

So you don't must login.
