Need help asap

[KoV Jerriel KD]

OK i have a MAJOR problem right now. A member got into the Main Admin account and took the rest of our people in Admin out of it. i need help on being able to add an Admin but not though the Admin CP. i have Super Admin on the site (though using the Config.php settings) but is there another way?

If you have superadmin through config.php, you have control. He can't touch you unless he also has access to config.php. Edit the file if necessary to make sure nobody else has superadmin, then nuke the troublesome user from the database.

Might leave a little bit of trash to go back and have to clean up later, but "delete from (prefix_)user where userid = XX" will stop him dead in his tracks. Of course replace XX with the user ID number. This will at least lock him out of everything so you can practice damage control for a bit.

But i never made it so that i was uneditable which is the problem right now.

is this all in the Config file? or some other file?

Yes.

 // ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******
 // The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users.
 // To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas.
$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = 'X';

Replace the X with your user ID

That has been edited but i still have no access to the Admin CP

Go back to the database and make sure your usergroupid is set to 6. PM me if this still doesn't get you back in.
