I did a silly thing.

I noticed that someone had tried to use "administrator" as a userid when they were signing up to one of my websites, so I decided to test out the user-name access restriction (found under administer -> users -> configure), and added a deny rule for "admin%".

The problem is ... this includes my admin signin for "admin", so now I am unable to log into the administration modules of the website.

Is there a way to fix this? Anyone?

Foolish regards,

James

This happens to all of us at one time or another.

Log in to MySQL from the command line and run something like:

UPDATE users SET name="temp" WHERE name="admin";

Then you will be able to login with the name temp and remove the rule that you set.
