Changing admin rights

    I think I somehow cut off my own admin rights – when I log in with my admin id and password I can just access the profile and dashboard. Is there a way to change a table, or to reinstall, that would give them back?

    I’m thinking there must be a way to change the user level using phpmyadmin?

    Otherwise, would a new installation do the trick?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ja, go to the wp_usermeta table, SELECT * WHERE user_id = 1 and update wp_user_level => 10 & wp_capabilities => a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

    Many thanks. That worked perfectly.
