0 Guest Ilias Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 You can try to hack his account with your database But I dunno if there is any other thing to get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GTAIVCode3 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Who is the account in which you made when you installed IPB, do you have access to that? I think that no one can change the permissions because it has the highest permissions. You can try that if you can or you can try what's said above. That sucks that the person did that to you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SkyDiver Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Jay, I assume you still have access to your sites cPanel? If so, open PHPmyAdmin, click on the members sub section, find the member_group_id column Locate your member_id (number 1 as you stated above) (just double click on the value) change the value found there to 4 (admin group) save, you should now have your admin access back. I would while I was in the PHPmyAdmin page demote the prat that changed your access (change his/her group to 3 (normal member group)) Hope this helps.
