 * Hello guys. I have done the dumbest error ever. I am currently building my first
   website on the university server and i don’t know why, I thought i had a higher
   role than admin. I used WP User Manager to restrict what a admin could do and
   now i barely can edit my website because of that. Does anyone know how i can 
   correct this error by editing the admin role again which i have no access to ?
 * thanks a lot in advance !

 * Hi [@nicojoco2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicojoco2/) ,
   It will be 
   best to contact your hosting provider regarding this, so they can proceed with
   resetting the administrator’s role from their end.Or, you can also use another
   third-party plugin called User-role editor to proceed in resetting the admin’s
   role from your end. You can check out their guide about it from here – [https://www.role-editor.com/restore-lost-wordpress-admin-permissions/](https://www.role-editor.com/restore-lost-wordpress-admin-permissions/)
   Please let me know if you have other questions, and I’ll be glad to help.
