Hey
i created a new user group with full admin access. Then i removed the old administrator access such as being able to login into the admin page.
But it seems like that the new admin group i have created dosnt have the access to the admin page, so now i dont have any access to admin panel.
can u please help me? wat can i do?
thanks again

btw i have full access to phpmyadmin so if anyone can help fix it through that it will be greatly appreciated

Are you sure you toggled 'has access to admincp'?

I'm amazed at how many people manage to do this...

So you've removed the ACP access from the default admin group, and it's not available for the new group?? Run this query:

UPDATE `mybb_usergroups` SET `cancp` = '1' WHERE `gid` = 'X';

Change the X to the ID of this new usergroup. Then run this query:

DELETE FROM `mybb_datacache` WHERE `title` = 'usergroups';

Reload a page on the forum, and then you should be able to login.

im not sure about the id of the new group, wat should i put?

You'll need to find it by looking in the usergroups table in phpMyAdmin...

great... it works perfect now
thanks man

but now ive lost my super administrator privilege, like i cant remove posts etc.
wat should i do?

That's not super admin privileges, that's just admin privileges.

You've still got something misconfigured, PM me phpMyAdmin login details and the name of your user account and I'll fix it for you...
