Admin Acount Locked [Solved]

[DeckerZ]

Hi, I have been trying to put together a forum using IntegraMod, which is excellent. I have created an Admin account and I just exceeded the login attempts and it has locked me out. I have gone through the board 'click here to unlock', which loads up 'Account Validation'. When I put in my details and click Validate, it asks for the security question, but then says 'Sorry, the information you provided is incorrect'. Can anyone please help me to unlock my Admin account I was reading it can be done through Myphp, but I haven't a clue what to do.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, did you use the Search Forums link?

then the next would have been one of the finds

Yes I did search the forum for 'Unlocking Admin Account', but nothing seemed to help unlock it. I followed you link above, and again it didn't help unlock the admin account. If I reinstall the forum, will I lose any current posts???

yes, you will loose your posts because you will have to empty the db to reinstall.

edit your account in phpbb_users
set your login tries to 0

Thanks HelterSkelter for your reply. I went into MyPHP and edited the account in phpbb_users and set the login trys to 0. Then I tried to login and got a new message saying that I have been baned from the forum. Here are a few screenshots where I set the login trys to zero, and the second is where the forum baned me. Any help here is welcome as I don't want to lose any of my posts.

I think I'm sorted now. I has to unban myself, then I ran this SQL query

UPDATE phpbb_users SET phpBBSecurity_login_tries = '1' WHERE user_id > '-2';

Sorted! Thanks everyone who helped me.
