Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Can�t find Admin user, Cannot login

Having created the Superuser wich I named Admin, and a regular user, now I am not able to login using "Admin". I tried the trick of deleting cookies and checking MySql _authors table. To my surprice there is only one God account, wich is the Regular user one, and NO Admin account, HOWEVER, when I request the Admin password to be emaild, PN does, only that I never get it (all other confirmations and email is working OK).
So, I need to get to admin.php somehow!! I need to set up the Site configuration. How do I restore the Admin Account? Can I create a NEW Superuser? Can I make the Regular user into a Superuser and Manage the site from thre? is this a bug? PN is on AUTO-PILOT for now he!
Thank you people. I noticed by reading your site that you are effective support.

PN=PostNuke?

How you dare?

meant Php Nuke = PN

Sharp, you noticed !!

Did you use the Nukesql to install it or did you import the data via a the nuke.sql text file? You may want to drop the whole table nuke_authors and then make it over.

I used MyAdmin at MySql and it was done correctly. Is it possible to create anothe superuser? If I reload the tables into MySql, would that affect the way the program works, if not, would't be easier to just create another table for Admin with all rights? OR, for that matter a new installation all together?
BUT why all this happen in the first place, do you know? I am affraid it might be a bug on the latest release.

Not sure why it happened sounds like something wasnt installed correctly. If you go to phpmyadmin and drop the table nuke_authors then just run this query

6.5-6.9

CREATE TABLE nuke_authors (
aid varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
name varchar(50) default NULL,
url varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
email varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

I deleted the originally installed "*_authors table", installed yours and what happen is that I tried recovering several random passwords included Admin and the Regular user. Nuke told me it was sending confirmation securty code on all of them but only got Regular user, which is again working. Never got another one besides that one.
It looks like Superuser was never created, even tho I worked at the site Admin Panel when I first "created it". So, is there a way of creating the Admin account again?
YOU SOLVED IT : I called dor site.com/ADMIN.PH and told me Admin was never created, gave me a chance to create another one and did it, now works. Thank you so much!!

Your Welcome!
