Remove an Unalterable / Undeletable User

[MetalMilitia]

fixed now thank you

You have a Moderator that's gone weird on you? And you can't demote him back to just a Registered User? Maybe while you are working out this problem you can use the access masks and make it so he can't even see the forums?

if this is the case then while u solving your problem and if u r the only one who has access to the ftp rename the admincp and modcp folders to something else so he cant log in there and do damage.

Also only userid`s u specify in config.php file are unalterable so does this user have access to the ftp ??

The file is includes/config.php and the line you need to look for is

$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '';

What are the errors?

[deezelpope]

I'm not receiving any in my e-mail...not sure why. I can't believe this is happening...can you help me, please? I'll give you any access you need.

Everywhere on my site it's saying the database has encountered a problem.

When you edited your config.php file, did you make a backup of it first? It sounds like you messed up your mysql user/password information or other database information, like changing mysql to mysqli or something in the config file.

But all I changed was a number...if I went back and changed it back, shouldn't it still work...and yes, the username and password has changed...how can I resolve it?

I haven't changed anything else.

post the info you changed exactly from your config.php; we'll let you know what it should be. you also might have left of a quotation mark.
