Login after Blocking user 1 by an access rule
Last modified: November 2, 2008 - 23:59
Say you accidentally 'block' your admin account (user 1) by an access rule (for example "%admin%") and cannot log in. You can undo this by accessing the table access and deleting the row where the mask field contains the access rule (in our example "%admin%".)
Using phpMyAdmin this is done by:
- Clicking on the name of the drupal database in the left menu (e.g. "_Drupal")
- Beside the table name (access) and under the Action column click on the Browse icon.
- Find the row in the table with the mask field (e.g. "%admin%") and click on the delete icon beside it.
- Press OK on the confirmation message.
- Now login normally from the frontpage...
Thanks
... I just did exactly this- %admin% . I was trying to prevent anyone from registering with a username like "administrator" and posing. So how would I go about this? I want to make sure that my unique usernames of special privileges are not wolves in sheep's clothing.
Login after blocking user
Hi
I followed this procedure but when I got to the Browse Icon, it was grayed out and I was unable to click and find the %admin%.
I am pretty new to Drupal so that's unfortunately as technical as I get.
Thanks in advance
Must be disable this option when login with user 1
I thing in the next release of Drupal, it must fix this ridiculous thing. I ask to the developer to make change that the user cannot block himself at access rule administer (especially to user 1).
Sorry for my bad english.
