Upload the tools.php file from the vBulletin zip (its in the do_not_upload folder) to your forums root directory. Call it via your browser, you'll see this at the bottom of the page:

Quote:

Reset admin access for a user

This will allow you to update your acount back to admin status, once you have done that delete the file from the server. If you leave it on there anyone can run it and become admin, or use the other utilitys in that file.

After you are back in the admin cp demote the admin in question (obviously not worthy of such power right?). To prevent this from happening again edit you config.php file at this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******

// The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users.

// To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas.

$undeletableusers = '';

Key in your userid as so:

PHP Code:


		
			
$undeletableusers = '1';

This will prevent anyone with admin access to the user section from editing/deleting your acount.

argh shoot is that for vb2 or vb3??? im using vb2... i tried using getadmin.php but it didnt work

Brad	10-31-2004 11:02 AM

vB3, for vB2 you have to use getadmin.php.

getadmin.php should work...if you can't get it to run, run this query on your database:

[sql]UPDATE user SET usergroupid=6 WHERE userid=1[/sql]

Change the number 1 in the query to match your userid.

Are you sure your acount wasn't deleted!?

If all else fails, contact offical support, they will be able to get you back in quickly.

do you recommend we do the sql query?

thanks.

If you want you can try to steal his acount, edit $password and $userid in the code below, paste in a text editor, save as 'steal_acount.php'.

Upload to your server, run, delete.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// steal acount of rouge admin

require_once('./global.php');



// Change this to the password you want the acount to use

$password = 'password';



// Change this to the userid of the acount you want to steal

$userid = '2';



// hashes password..

$password = md5($password);



// Update acount

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET password=$password WHERE userid=$userid");



echo('Acount should have been stolen, try to log in to the control panel with it');



?>

Yea go ahead and do the query, beats de-bugging the age old header error when you can just by-pass it by running the query by hand.
