    In progress Admin who has lost password to forum

    Post by Archangel Andrew March 11th 2013, 7:09 am

    Hi there,

    I'm the Admin/Founder for [url]archangelsboards.tk[/url] (a url posted right at my forummotions site) and I try to log in as the admin but can't remember my password. When I give the email I signed up with it says The security 'Disallow admin to send new password' is active in Admin Panel > General Admin > Security
    what do I do to get into the site? I don't want to have to start over!

    I'm getting the same message. But it won't even let me log into my site at all. I'm at a complete loss.

    Just one more post huh? So any thoughts then? I can't figure out what my password says and the feature of not allowing admins to reset passwords is activated - which is really dumb when you think of it for just this reason.

    Yeah looked at that, tried it, it won't allow me to send PM's right now - for 7 days I guess? I thought I had enough posts now, but apparently not.

    help.forummotion.com
    archangelsboards.tk is what I use to direct people, the original site is a forum motion site though. This is the notice I get when I try to use my email to reset the password: New members are not allowed to post external links or emails for 7 days. Please contact the forum administrator for more information.
