Step 1.

Access phpMyAdmin

browse to the user table

find your username, if you installed the board you will be userid 1 if you didnt you may be a differnt number so please search for your name

once youve done that change your usergroupid to 6

make a note of what userid you are, your going to need it in a moment

Step 2

connect via FTP to your host and edit your config.php file found in root/forumdirectory/includes/config.php

Find
$superadministrators = '';

it may also look like this

$superadministrators = '1';

If your userid is not in it add it so it looks like this

$superadministrators = 'X';

if it has another id that is not yours and you just need to add your userid use this

$superadministrators = '1,X';

replace X with YOUR userid.

Step 3

Login to your Admincp youll notice that your access is rather limited


so point your browser at this

mysite.com/admincp/adminpermissions.php?do=modify

Click on Edit Permissions

Click on All Yes and save.

You've now restored your access to the AdminCP have a nice day
