I just set up access rules so that only e-mail address coming from my school can register, but my admin account was set up using a gmail account so now when i try to log in i get The name DRKPablo is registered using a reserved e-mail address and therefore could not be logged in. How can i fix this?

Never did before but may work.

1. Access your Drupal Database with phpmyadmin and go to User-Table
2. Find User UID 1, this should be the account you used to install Drupal
3. Look for field: Mail, change the email to one you can use only you at your school web-server
4. If you do not have one let set one for you from your shool-site/web-server admin register one and go on with point 3

Hope this was usefull, let know.

Edit:
If this should work, and I hope so, register an User-account for you as webmaster or admin give them all administrative permission access
and go on administering your drupal site with this one and not with the super-user(UID 1) account, so you can always repair/adjust wrong or improperly settings
further on.

Thanks alot for the suggestion... I was able to fix the issue by doing an update of my e-mail in the sql database like you said.

Thank you so much for an excellent answer to this question. I had the same problem and I never expected the Admin to be included with Access rules. Especially if my name was already created. Im going to search for a way to exclude the Admin and if I find it I will post it here. Thanks again
