Title: Cannot login to admin after upgrade to 1.7.10
Post by: stonehollow on February 16, 2012, 03:42:55 AM

I started this about six months ago, but got busy on other stuff.  I upgraded to 1.7.10, but can not log into admin now.  I can get in to one of my non-privileged accounts, but not the admin.  I've tried copying over all the new files (twice) with no improvement.  I've tried "forgot password", but it does not recognize my admin email.  If I have to, I can do a clean install (no mods anyway).  Any suggestions before I start over?

Hello and welcome to 4images forum.

You can access your accounts information through your host's database manager (most probably phpmyadmin). From there try find your admin account, if it doesn't exist you can change any other user accounts to admin privileges by changing "user_level" value to "9"

Thanks much - that did the trick.  Although I did search for this topic, I did not find the one you reference.  Vielen Dank!
