Hello.
After I log in successfully and than go to user c.p. trying to change e-mail address for example, i get the message:
"The password you entered is incorrect. If you have forgotten your password, click here. Otherwise, go back and try again."
So, I am not able to change anything in my profileeven as admin.
Does anyone know how can that be so?
Anyway, falling in panic i did a stupid think, i deleted default admin account... what can i do now to recreate the admin account back...
I am not sure, do you have direct access to the SQL database, e.g. over php myadmin??
Just make a new user over the board, than change him directly in the SQL Database to Usergroup 4 (the users are in mybb_users
). Now the user should be an admin again
. Good luck
Also when changing your email I think you have to input your password.
Well, assuming the board was new, and had no more than 2-3 members and very little post, my advice would be to start over. Delete everything, re-install the board, and start over. (and try not to do the same thing again).
If the community is a big one, do as Bill said. Its not hard to do it.
On a side note, I urge Chris to add some kind of prevention against this. It could seriously
I guess i will have to...
I moved my self successfully to group 4 and now i am administrator but it is strange that still i did not have access to a part of control panel. Seems like i am still not an absolute administrator.
When I tried to access this part of control panel:
Users and Groups > Admin Permissions
I got the access denied message:
"MyBB Message
Access Denied
You do not have permission to access this part of the administration control panel."
What can i do to have access even to this part of the board?
In phpMyAdmin or in some sort of MySQL management interface run the following queries.
DELETE FROM mybb_adminoptions WHERE uid!='-1';
INSERT INTO mybb_adminoptions VALUES ('YOUR UID','','','1','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes');
Replace mybb_ with your table prefix if you aren't using the default, replace YOUR UID in the second query with your user id.
Chris.
I had the same problem a whie ago. I deleted the first admin, and afterwards non ofter the remaining admins where able to change the permissions, so I also finally had to change it directly in the SQL Database.
