   I was testing some User Role Editort plugin, and i made a test account, which somehow made my admin account a subscriber and now i dont have access to admin on my site, what shal i do? Is there any way to make myself admin again via the Database or the FTP files? I really need to get admin back urgently, i don't have any other admins to re admin me either

   It the test account the admin? Wp won't let you delete or change the admin unless you have another.

   No both accounts are subscriber, will there be any way to reset the user logins? So everyone has to register again?

   Back up the data base.

   Check the db user meta table. Under the name you want as admin in the wp-capabilities section paste this,
   a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

   I have looked into my PHPMYADMIN database, and changed my wp_capabilities And managed to get myself in as admin again.
