Hi

i mistakenly deleted my admin username through admin cp and now can't log in or moderate anything

okay make a new user and edit its group in phpmyadmin.

okay, i am able to log in now as admin but i have one more problem


i can't backup database and other important stuff
it says

Quote:You do not have permission to access this part of the administration control panel.

looks like i have not done the correct details
what should i do?
i think the forum is taking me as moderator..
thx
Admin is NOT the uid. Hover over the profile link of your user, and enter the number (the user id).

You also don't need to make it red.
1. Sign up again
2. Go into phpmyadmin
3. Set the new user as usergroup 4 and set the uid to 1 (assuming your old uid was 1)

That should do it. Sadly if you deleted the user via admincp then all the posts are no longer associated. You will need additional mysql queries via phpmyadmin to restore those old posts and PMs.

Once you get access to your Admin CP, please do a rebuild and recount of your statistics (in the maintenance section of your Admin CP)
Quote:UPDATE mybb_adminoptions SET caneditaperms='yes' WHERE uid='YOUR_USER_ID'

this query doesn't do any difference
