Restore Admin Privs (oops!)
« on: December 15, 2012, 01:57:56 PM »
Hey quick question:

I mistakenly unchecked admin privs and ability to modify profile on my admin account. So now I don't have admin on any of my logins.  (Well that was dumb of me.. I know.. )

How can I re-enable this? I'm willing to go into the sql tables if necessary - I do have access to the hosting account to manually fix this.

Thanks

n/m - I had another machine previously logged into the admin account, and it hadn't realized the changes to the admin account, so I was able to re-enable them.

if it does happen, a workaround would be to open up the database table with an editor like  Workbench.  '  $db_webim.operator' holds  the settings flags on the row for a given operator (in this case, the admin field.) IIRC, it's either 1 or null, 1 being 'yes'.
