Have locked out of Admincp

[TheAdminMarket]

Hello,

My problem in a short. Moving a site in another server I've lost the web files. I had only a MySQL backup.

Trying to recover I uploaded the files (vb 4.2.0) and then I changed the config.php to point to the database with the real data.

Now the problem. Trying to login to admincp I'm getting login details error for both admin accounts (I had 2). Even if I'm sure about the passwords (the usernames are correct as I checked them with phpMyAdmin), I tried to use the reset password function. And here is the problem. It shows the verification image without to show any image. Then with phpMyAdmin I disabled the Human verification (was set to Image), but still it shows it. As I understood the verification images does not cares what setting I've for human verification.

Any idea what else I can try to change to be able to login or recover the password?

Thank you

Ok fixed it. I removed from login.php

	//if (fetch_require_hvcheck('lostpw'))
	//{
	//	require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_humanverify.php');
	//	$verify =& vB_HumanVerify::fetch_library($vbulletin);
	//	if (!$verify->verify_token($vbulletin->GPC['humanverify']))
	//	{
	// 		standard_error(fetch_error($verify->fetch_error()));
	//  	}
	//}

Can you register a new account? If you can, you can change the usergroup to admin with phpMyAdmin. Then you can assign your old accounts new passwords in admin CP

I had also tried it. I changed with phpMyAdmin the settings to allow registrations (I've turn them off), but trying to register I got the message the registartions are off.

Somehow I got a feeling that all changes that I did with phpMyAdmin had no effect. Unless (as it was already midnight), if I was working on another database with phpMyAdmin

No. Have never had the need to use them before, but I supposed that they'll need to login, something that it was impossible to do.

Exactly. The settings are cached in datastore, and simply changing them in the settings table will have no effect. You need to refresh datastore, or change them in the datastore table, too.

Thank you. At least now I feel safe because I got very serious the possibility to have worked in different database. Just before I did a check and I found that the changes were done in the right database.

Datastore table? hmmm....... Most probably it will has a lot of fields or records to check. Finally the modification of login.php was the easiest way.

Thank you all
