View Full Version : phpbb2 to vB messed up admin user

I have imported my phpbb2 board into vB3.5 and all seemed well until I merged the imported admin user with the vB admin user in that order (source-destination).

Now I cannot log on as the vB admin user because it seems to have been deleted. I can log on as the imported admin user but have no permissions to even view the forums.

Is there a way of accessing the database and giving the imported user the required permissions?

Regards

Sounds like you merged your admin account into a non admin account, which happens alot more than you think so...

In your vBulletin zip file, there is a folder called do_not_upload, inside is a file called tools.php. Upload this file to your admincp folder, and use it to restore access to your merged account. After this is done remove the tools.php file.
