use tools.php and reset your account.

[harmor19]

Save this file as "unbanme.php" and upload to your forum's root.

PHP Code:

<?php

require_once('./global.php');

$db->query_write("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user SET usergroupid = '6' WHERE userid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."'");

?>

Run the script on your site eg. yoursite.com/your_forums/unbanme.php
Disable the forums and read the logs to see if you can find the user who banned you.




Edit: I didn't think about tools.php

That's some great and quick coding, harmor19, so well done on that. But I highly recommend you to use the tools.php script located in the vBulletin pack.

If you're having some trouble, contact me and I'll be able to do it for you.

as admin, i think you have access to your database (mysql). There you can change your settings of your account (or delete the ban) and you are back on track.

You should always keep your self as unalterable! so that No other admin can touch you!

Try tools.php or else mysql , change your pass and usergroup!

[tipoboy]

personally i keep a second super admin account hidden so if that were to happen i could log on using that account and unban me lol

i was working with a hack.... and tried to manually edit my dbase (1st mistake).. i deleted my usergroup.... (major mistake).. i and all my members were banned.... i tried the unbanme... and the tools.php.... i was able to reset the usergroup and get back in....

but its like an altered universe!! the same things... except, now, i cant give myself permissions!! they were all set to no or default....

but, i HAVE permission... its weird.....

is there anyone else suffering from this insanity??!
