Solved Can't login as Admin & Owner.

Post by Madison-HF August 30th 2009, 12:00 pm

Hallo everyone,

I think I may have done something very very stupid (gosh this is hard, I can hardly hold back my tears)
Here are some facts: (I'm the owner and creator of my forum)

In the last couple of day's among other things i've made the following changes:

- i changed the name from Admin to my own desired forum name (No problem logging in and fulfilling the admin roles)
- i've made a lot of Catg's and Forums (No problem there)
- i've made a group of people in to admins..... and then noticed that i should have made them mods
- yesterday i made a usergroup called Moderators and put 5 members (incl myself?) in to it
- from admin panel i've gone through all the catg's and forum and adjusted the mods privileges (gave them the extra powers)
- i could navigate the forum without any problems
- i checked the mods privilages by logging in as one of them (i called him Test Moderator)
- i saved all the settings and logged off for the night
- this morning the crises has started; i go to the forum and i can't get in as my old admin self
- i checked the password a couple of times - nothing ( i haven't made any changes to the pw)
- i checked the login name in combination with the pw (i have everything written down) no changes there
- i am officially at my wits end. i'm expecting a big group of people within 2 or 3 days and i can't access as owner
- i used the login settings of my Test Moderator, they work fine. i'm getting in and can do everything as a mod

Have I destroyed my own forum? Do i need to deleted it and start all over again? Gosh i'm so mad at myself. What have i done wrong, but above all how will i fix it?

At this point i'm not asking, i'm begging; please tell me what to do. How do i restore my admin privilegesf?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my cry for help.

Kind regards,
Madison
