Thanks 'xaozhu' greatly appreciated

I have a problem with the converter. After the conversion i can't access the Admin CP. The forums were phpbb 2.1.19 and mybb 1.1.7
What can i do to get this thing working?

Be a bit more specific please.

I have a phpbb 2.1.19 forum and I wanted to switch to mybb. I installed mybb 1.1.7, then I placed import_phpbb2 files in mybb and I run import_phpbb2.php. Everything was fine except for some special language characters. I've logon with an admin account and then I tried to access Admin CP - didn't work (You are either not a valid administrator or have not logged in. Please login below.). I tried to login, I even tried other admin accounts but nothing worked.

I checked in phpmyadmin and on mybb_users i have only the members imported from phpbb starting with uid 2. On mybb_adminoptions all options are set to 'yes' for the following uid's: -1, 2, 3, 4. I chanced in mybb my first user from uid 2 to uid 1 and on mybb_adminoptions I chanced uid -1 with 1. Still, no good, I can't login on ACP. I also tried zaher's Recover Lost Admin Mod but I still can't login...

Try changing the usergroup to 4. 4 -> Administrator, that gives you the ability to login Admin CP.

Yep, on usergroup in mybb_users 4 it is. I forgot to say this in the previous post. The only problem is that i cannot acces the ACP. After I login I have admin rights, the color is green, the usergroup is admin, but I can't access ACP. Weird...

In phpMyAdmin goto mybb_usergroups
Browse to where gid = 4.

Scroll across until you come across the column "cancp".

Ensure it is set to yes, and any non-administrator usergroups are set to no.
In mine, gid 4 (admins) are the fourth column. Here is an image of what to look for.

Thanks, but everything's ok there.
Could it be some wierd incompatibility between phpbb, the converter, and mybb 1.1.7 (the converter was wrote for mybb 1.1.1) ? And in this case from were can I get mybb 1.1.1?
