Unban Yourself - Cyan - 12-23-2013
Suppose you are only admin and you've banned yourself, then?
Freaky, but accident happens ...
Go to your hosts control panel and launch phpMyAdmin.
Run the following commands:
Code:
DELETE FROM mybb_banned WHERE uid=1next ...
Code:
UPDATE mybb_users SET usergroup=4 WHERE uid=1You are unbanned and assigned to admin again!!!
Note:
Assuming your UID is 1 (default for first member : admin).
Assuming your database table prefix is mybb_ (default), if not, change what is.
Assuming your usergroup is 4 (default for Administrators), if not, change what is.

Nice tutorial. Hopefully our admin doesn't ban himself lol.

It's stupid that it would even be possible to ban the Admin. lol

This is for if the Admin accidentally bans himself.

I know and it's stupid that MyBB would allow banning of the UID 1 since it's the site Admin. I can't see a senario when you want to ban yourself on your own forum.

That's a good point. I suppose for testing purposes.

That's pretty cool, not sure who would do that though...

I doubt I will ever ban myself if I ever owned a forum, but thanks a lot for this. : )
