UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Restoring original Administrator account?

Is there any way to recover the original Administrator account for UBBThreads? Our shows to have been deleted and no longer in the database, but when I attempt to make another login it says that it already exists.

Can you connect to the database (using phpMyAdmin, for example)? If so, look at the w3t_Users table. Is the Admin account in question still there? Is the **DONOTDELETE** user still the first user? If not, we may be able to restore it with a SQL query.

Are there any other admins that can log in? Perhaps they can look for that user in the member list?

If when you say "it shows to have been deleted", the main admin won't be visible with any searches via the Admin panel. So this may make it seem like it's gone.

You can try viewing /showprofile.php?User=2 to see if the user is there or not.

Ah ha... It is there indeed. Is there any way to access that from the control panel and update the password?

You can do so with an SQL Query from the SQL Query section of the Admin area.

UPDATE w3t_Users
SET U_Password = md5('newpassword')
WHERE U_Number = 2

That should reset the password to "newpassword"

That worked. Thanks Josh
