Locked Myself Out
 

So, yeah. I did something really stupid. I was trying to change my password on my test forum and well, long story short I'm now locked out of my own forum :\ I can't register a new account and make them admin because my forums are turned off. When I try and get my password reset thing sent to me I can't see the CAPTCHA image (apparently because my forums are turned off). Is there any way I can reset my password via phpMyAdmin? Or at least a way to turn them back on? Thanks

Ok, so I got them turned back on but I can't register a new account or send myself a password reset email because captcha isn't working for some reason.. I also tried copying my password from my fully functional (not test) forum (from phpMyAdmin) and pasting it as this account's password but it still isn't working.

Run this query on your DB. It should disable the human verification.

I did that and image verification is still there..

Pretty sure there's an option in phpMyAdmin to enable registration again, or something. Take a quick peek for it. I'll try to look too.

I replied to your thread over on vb.com about registering a new user and using tools.php to promote that user to an admin. Then reset your admin password.

Registration is enabled. I can't register, though because my image verification isn't working properly for some reason so it won't let me.

When you tried to disable image verification per post 2, did you get an error? If you use a prefix, then you need to add your prefix to the beginning of the table name.

No, I didn't get an error.

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin to check the setting manually? And did you do a Force Refresh on the registration page after you turned it off?

I do. Whereabouts is image verification in the db? And what should it be in order for it to be off?
