Default How Do I... Re-Admin Myself
Yes, lol... You can all laugh...

I've just recently brought vBulletin for my site, although it is not my first time using it as an Administrator.
I was creating a separate Admin group for my 2 "Super" Admins, which I'm in... I just accidentally deleted it, so I was de-admined and put into the "Regular Members" group.

So, yeah... How do I re-admin myself?
I have full access to the sites cPanel if it's a MySQL edit...
Or is it a simple file edit?

Help is appreciated, quickly...
- Morsolo

Yeah, tried that...
That doesn't make users Administrators, it just gives them more Admin settings...

If they aren't Admin in the first place, it's useless...
However, I found it out in the MySQL database, so a mod can close this thread of delete if they wish.

You shouldn't edit the MySQL database directly, I can't remember exactly but I think there is something in tools.php in the do_not_upload folder from the vBulletin zip download.

I've managed to de-admin myself twice through complete accident. MySQL edit to my primary usergroup always solves that...

Upload tools.php from the do_not_upload folder and access it through your browser. It will have an option to make yourself an administrator again. Remember to remove the file from your server afterwards.
