Hello,

I used the same email address for "admin" account and "member" account to test some settings.

But I also changed the setting where you need to log in with email address.

Now I cannot log into either accounts... I'm locked out!

Help?
i think you can get back in via the htaccess ill look into a deeper instructional tutorial for you in a moment i knew how to do it on IPB but not on MYBB
Awesome, please let me know. Thanks so much!
Go to: CPanel > Database Management > phpmyadmin > Click on "SQL" tab > and enter the following query and Press "Go"

UPDATE mybb_users SET password = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1'; 

Login with test as the password. change 1 to your UID if 1 isnt your uid.
What is uid?

Can I put in an email there? Or will I be able to change it there as well?
