Delete the GOD-account from the _authors table and revisit the homepage, it should ask you to create a GOD-account again.

Sorry, this wasn't the full story... Wink

Go to your.site.com/admin.php and you will be asked to create the new GOD.

Then fill in your data {} into this query and use it in phpMyAdmin:

Code:

INSERT INTO `nuke_authors` VALUES ('{USERNAME}', 'God', '{HOMEPAGEURL}', '{EMAILADDRESS}', '{PASSWORDHASHFROMNORMALACCOUNT}', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, '');

If your authors table wasn't altered with additional fields, this should work...else count teh number of your fields in _authors and write again Smile

Go to the SQL-Tab (on top of the right frame) in phpMyAdmin, there's a text box to enter queries.
Paste the string from my last post, edited with your data, into this textbox, click the OK button and hope that there are no errors Wink

Check the _authors table afterwards...

Can't you just edit your name to 'God' in Edit Admins? That should give you a god admin account.

I edited the name in SQL to God.. and my username (original admin) displays God* now i think it might be fixed Smile

Thanks

Ok. i did like it said and deleted the admin and went back to my page. It asked for the info and i fill it in. It then takes me to the "sign in" screen for the admin.php but the security code is gone now Sad

and will not let me log on at all. I get a blank security image and it wont let me sign on.

It is vs. 7.0 and has no hacks. can you help or just point the direction for me to go look for the answers?

thanks all. Crying or Very sad
