Full Version: Locked out of admin directory

So I was trying to make my friend an admin so that he could fiddle around with the admin settings as well. Anyway, I went to see what I was set up as and must have changed something because now I cannot log into the admin directory of my forums. Any idea what the issue might be? I think I clicked to make myself a super moderator. Now when I press login the login screen just reloads but does not go into the admin area???

I am alittle miffed here, any help would be appreciated

I took a screenshot of the login page I am talking about...

Thanks
Try run this query in PHPMyAdmin:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `usergroup` = '4' WHERE `uid` = '1'

Make sure your uid is 1. If it isn't, please change the 1 to whatever your uid is. Smile
Sorry pretty new at this, where might I find the PHPMyAdmin?

Thanks by the way!
In your CPANEL, there should be something along the lines"PHPMyAdmin"
It worked. thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!
