MyBB Community Forums

Hello.

I had a forum when the account of the superadmin will broken because the forum ex admin have problem with the host (zymic) and pass me the admin. But now i have a problem 'cause i need to make a backup of the forum and de ac admin of the forum only permit it for the super admin. I tell him let me know his pass and by the way he forgot this one.

So, i need to make the backup, but i try to get inside with the my sql but o don't look any form to do that. the system to send the password didn't work too, so i think that i lose all the possibility to obtain the backup.

But i want to know if i can create a other superadmin, or change de super admin password in another form.

Thank you

You can edit the inc/config.php and add your user id to this:

$config['super_admins'] = '1';

IE

$config['super_admins'] = '1,3';

Put only, like this?

$config['super_admins'] = '1,3';

Yeah, if your user id is 3.

How can i know what is my user id? in the admin cp or in another place

If you can view your profile within the forum, your user ID will be in the address bar (url address).

For here, your profile url address is....

http://community.mybboard.net/user-13343.html

So your ID for here is 13343.

Well now i know that my user id is 4, this is the link.

http://iso9.zzl.org/foro/member.php?acti...file&uid=4

I put in the file config.php, this line

$config['super_admins'] = '1,4';

but i can do the backup, the admincp said that i don't have permision for do this.

what wrong? let me know what i need to change, thank you

you still need to set what that user can do in the acp eg Admin permissions
all the super admin means is that account can not get edited by other admins or mods how can you the acp
