Admin permissions via db?

[afullcup]

ok... I'll do my best to help in case noone else gets to you tonight...

in phpmyadmin, get to an SQL tab so that you can enter a query and type this:

SELECT usergroupid, title FROM usergroup

then hit Go - that will give you a list of the usergroups and you should find the Administrator group in the list. Get the usergroupid of Administrator and Moderator.

then, run another query (change the 'you' in the query to YOUR username):

SELECT usergroupid, userid FROM user WHERE username = 'you'

that will tell you what usergroup you are currently in. If it shows you as a moderator, then to update it to Administrator, run this query (be sure to change the 1 to the Administrator usergroupid you found in the first query):

UPDATE user SET usergroupid = 1 where username = 'you'

then check to see if that fixed your problem or not.... sure hope it does
