Edit Unalterable / Undeletable users.

My sexond hack (First was on account i forgot my passowrd to lol) :

What this does is allow any userid, (that is admin) to delete / edit undeleteable / unalterable users ill use id 1 as an example :

Open admincp/global.php

Find :

PHP Code:

print_cp_login();
} 


Add underneath :

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1) {
unset ($undeletableusers);
} 


Replace the 1 with whatever id you want to be in full control with

The only bad thing about this is if anyone evers gets into your account, you would be in trouble.

You can always go into phpmyadmin and change yourself :P

i don't think a hacker will take the time to modify these users if he is able to login as a admin... he will trash the board first...

btw, i don't think it's useful to have unalterable users... modify a user need to be at a higher level of admin, only... example, in any company, the janitor can't delete the manager... but the manager have the job to deal with the janitor... and the owner of the company take a look at the logs to see if the manager take care of the janitor, and if not, will dismiss the manager (and hire the janitor to take the place)..

Thank its nice work around the matter, however.....
How many ppl in your config as unlatereable/undeletables? and how often do you edit them?

I don't see any need for this hack
