hello i tried reseting my password and im the creator of the site and i got in and made myself admin again through the database and well now i think someone else is using the admin of the website account and i need to delete it from the site and it says i need to be a super administrator and i know to go to the config.php but how do i add myself to make me super admin again
if you are creator of the site then how someone else is using admin account without your permission ...
The super admins are set in the inc/config.php file. You will need to edit the file to make changes to it. You can either use your host's interface to make changes to your files or use ftp to download the file, edit it and reupload it back.

Line 70 - make sure your uid, and no one else's, in in that list.

Open your config.php and search for

$config['super_admins']

You should see something like this:

$config['super_admins'] = '1';

Remove the 1 and replace it with your admin account's user id.
