    Solved I deleted myself by accident (I think) [admin]

    Post by DOMINATRIX March 1st 2009, 12:31 am

    Basically the scenario is this:

    After I created my admin account and obviously tweaked my Forum, I decided to create 2 other user accounts to test out all the options (etc). I then decided to delete the two accounts that I had used for testing.
    Then, what I am presuming has happened is my admin account was deleted along with it.
    Don't ask me how, cause I am new to Forum creating (etc).

    When I try (and I have done so numerous times now) to access my account as admin, my password now does not seem to be registering as being correct.

    Here is the error message I get:
    You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.

    How can I access my Forum again? @_@

    Please help.

    Now this is strange. I am now noticing some of my Forum missing.
    Someone is deleting bits in my Forum. WTF? Neutral

    I did have two categories in my Forum. Now there is only one.

    So, it looks like that someone has illegally gain control over my Forum. Neutral

    Please someone help me ASAP. I am hoping that my email is still registered, that way I can prove that the Forum is under my name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ^_^ I figured it out. Nevermind.

    I did not realize that if you give yourself a user name, you are no longer 'admin'.
    Basically, I now realize that you don't sign in as 'admin' if you have given yourself another name.

    Thank-you for your quick reply. I appreciate it.

    Great support.
