Oh no oh no, Sad

I was changing user permissions to view a thread and somehow removed myself as an Admin. Therefore I cant login to AdminCP! Sad

I am the only Admin on my forum! Sad

What should I do, someone must know, anyway I can edit a file through Cpanel to make me an Admin again!?! Sad
Go to phpmyadmin and Run this query

UPDATE mybb_users SET usergroup = '4' WHERE username = 'admin'

change admin to your own username.

also make sure your database table prefix should be mybb_
Where is phpmyadmin - sorry I am a noob :/
Go to your Hosting Control Panel (usually CPanel) > phpmyadmin > Select database > SQL Tab > Input the above query and Hit the go button
You saved my forum!!!

Only problem is when I log out I lose my Admin status, so its phpmyadmin for now Big Grin
When You logout, Login again,

But if you see that their are login logout issues, (means when you login, automatically logout) then see this thread http://community.mybboard.net/thread-42123.html
