Hi
I currently run version 1.6.10

I am getting the error message:

Access Denied You do not have permission to access this part of the administration control panel.

This is after I have installed and activated the following plugins listed in this thread: http://community.mybb.com/thread-115774.html

Registration Security Question - http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question

I then deleted the existing security questions and added my own.

After this I am able to login to Admin CP but do not have permissions.

Please HELP Sad
can you elaborate which permissions are not working - does the system clearly say permissions are denied ?
Yes as stated, I can log into admin CP but have little or no permissions. I have only Home and 'Tools and maintenance' tabs showing. When I click on anything it gives the error.
one more clarification required - are you owner of the forum (with user id 1)
and can you check if inc/config.php file has a line like below (around line 70)
$config['super_admins'] = '1';
I am not user no. 1 as this is a clan forum that has been passed along, I host the domain on my server and have full root access to the server, DB and website.

Yes I confirm that inc/config.php has the following line:
$config['super_admins'] = '1';

What do I have to do to disable the plugins through the database using PHPmyAdmin?
^ those plugins are not related to the permissions.
I suspect that super administrator has put restrictions on your admin account
If you have access to your database, just do a simple query to find out your user id:
SELECT uid, username FROM mybb_users WHERE username = '<your_user_name>';
Then edit inc/config.php and change:
$config['super_admins'] = '1';
to
$config['super_admins'] = '<your_uid>';
Then you'll have Super Admin access!
