Administrator lockout (3 posts)

    I am unable to login as administrator at my blog. Whenever I enter my admin user name, it takes me to a different user with a setting of 7. This eliminates several several options, including plugins and changing the presentation.

    How do I get back to my administrator status?

    Thanks.

    Takes you to a different user?
    As in there are two users with the same username registered?

    Odd.

    As a quick fix, you could go into phpMyAdmin, get into the user table and modify your admin username from whatever it is to something slightly different for a minute.

    (example, change AdminUsername to AdminUsername33), and try logging in with what you changed it to.

    wp_users, the first user. Look along and you'll see '7' as user_level.
    Edit that table.
