Invision board - admin account locked out!

Posted 08 September 2007 - 03:01 PM

I'm wondering if you bods on here know about the invision forum software and where to look in the mySQL to give myself admin perms?

I was testing subscriptions and in signing up to one myself it changed my permissions and therefore removed my access to my own Admin CP! Yes, how stupid of me.

Now, I have the mySQL in front of my and I'v found the 'admin_permission_rows' which I hazard a guess is where I need to re add my user ID but it also has to columns one for 'perm_cache' and the other 'update'.

Any ideas what I need to type in the fields or indeed if this is the correct area of the db.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section and not the sort of thing you help with, but I'm a little desperate!

Moved to Software.

IPB uses groups to hand out permissions.

I believe the admin group in IPB is 4 on all installs. Just go to the users table and change your user group to 4 and try logging in again. The admin perms table is if you're using custom permissions.
