Solved Need admin (with database access) help ASAP!

Post by Fender February 9th 2016, 2:12 am

FYI ... I've already PM'd Buttercup, and no reply in about 3 hours, but this is kind of urgent.

Somehow, someone got access the the admin account on our forum, deleted the admin staff user accounts, made mod staff threads public and modified a bunch of things on the forum.

I'd restore the database from a backup, but I'd like to just get the admin account reset so I can try to determine who it was that did this. I obviously have founder account access.

HELP!!

Hello Sorry your facing this problem with your forum.

Sorry Buttercup is out of the office and will not return until Tuesday morning (8am French time)
The head office opening hrs are 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday and Closed weekends

If some one has been in your account and deleted things then you can see who did this by doing the following.

ACP >> General tab >> Need admin (with database access) help ASAP! Configuration Forum >> Security look under the settings at the bottom and see who made the change to your forum.

If you would like a Founders password reset then i will be happy to do that for you
Remember you will need to change the email address of the founders account when you get in and do the same to your founders tools.

Thanks for the help.

I have my founder account info. Was hoping to just get the admin password reset, so I could get in & see things before doing the Full Backup.

Unfortunately, my account was one of the accounts that was deleted by whoever did this, so I don't have admin privileges or an account at this point.
