My Admin Permissions have disappeared.
I have been re-seted back to Registered Member group.
Did you changed your Usergroup settings ?
Nope, Only added a Group Promotion.
Ive done nothing for my permissions to be removed.
Run this query in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `usergroup` = '4' WHERE `uid` = 'X'
Replace X with your UserID.
Do you have your id as a super id? If you do then it won't be possible to change the permissions on that account:
inc/config.php
$config['super_admins'] = '1';
Make sure your user id is in there.
Matt had a nice write out on what to do if you get hacked and how to prevent it. His site's not loading at the moment but check it out from google's cache:

I did what you told me to do.
I did it and it worked. Now at this minute my group permissions have changed back to registered member.
I have to keep doing that phpmyadmin code.
$config['super_admins'] = '1'; is in the config.php file.
'1' is my user ID.
Check all your files under Admincp >> Tools & Maintenance >> File Verification to make sure non of them have changed.
Deactivate all your plugins.
Your permissions should not change when you are a superadmin.
Make sure your sql passwords are secure and no one other than you have access to your database.
If i do change the MySQL passwords the forum will get a MySQL error.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Then just update the password in inc/config.php as well!
Well i used
UPDATE mybb_users SET usergroup = '4' WHERE uid = '1'
In my phpmyadmin and it works but now it's not giving me back my admin permissions on the forum.
It worked twice now it's not.
So i think I'm officially getting hacked.
I cannot do anything.
