I accidently made myself a non-administrator.

[Gir]

Well, I own a Simple Machines forum, and I was making ranks. So I was testing out rank pictures, and I had to remove my admin status to see it working. So without thinking I deleted my admin status, and now stuck with "Malware Support" even though I'm the owner. I already deleted setup.php so no luck there, and so you all need it, the domain is http://www.tech4u.ameteria.net/forums. Help is really thanked for. -razz-

First of all, you should have just made a test account.
Secondly I don't know if you can get you admin status back.

Thanks, I now feel kinda bad, because of the negative post you have posted
"First of all, you should have just made a test account."
If you read it, I said "Without Thinking." Thanks though.

You can get your admin status back. Register a new account, head to your cPanel and open phpMyAdmin.

Click on the SQL tab and run the following query on the forum's database:

UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = '1' WHERE memberName = 'yourusername'

Replace 'yourusername' with the new registered account's name.

And voila. That account will be admin. You can then log into that admin account and give your original account admin status.
