Sorry to bother you all however I am somewhat desperate and don't know what to do.

I was editing permissions in my UBB.threads 7.5.3 and have accidentally it seems locked administrators out of the control panel functions except approve posts. I thought I was editing another groups permissions and seems I was editing adminstrator group functions. I changed the '1' to '0' in the CP section of the permissions and now I no longer have permission to run my own board. No other member has permissions either.

I have a drama as I rely on the CP daily and need it back. How the hell do I get it back??

Can you help PLEASE!!??

Well I am glad it worked for him . But the query just changes the settings. For me I would want to know what was wrong to begin with.
Call me Mr. Anal.
Before I start doing a update query.

No offense intended Sirdude!

he told us what was 'wrong' in the 1st post and how it happened.

he accidentally did the opposite of what that query fixed in the CP permissions and locked himself out..

so look @ me like the triple A guy that got called to help someone who locked themself out of their own car

wink

I understand. It is just I tend to agree with speedwest.
Where in the control panel you assign the main admin in Main Administrator User Id?
Usually it is defaulted to 2
So why would you be able to remove cp access to user 2.
My thinking is whatever user id is in
Main Administrator User Id?
Should never loose cp access no mater what cp panel process you use.

So if it happened to me I probably would be doing some digging to see where it allows that to happen and prevent it from happening again. Especially if you have multiple admins.

BTW, Here in Florida the company is pop-a-lock. HE HE.
