HUGE Problem - HUGE
« on: August 20, 2008, 02:01:34 pm »
Forum Url: http://allthatcare.smfforfree3.com
The other day i went to my forum and saw it in maintenance mode. I thought one of my admins was working on something. I tried to log on to see what it was they were doing. I used my username and password and it said password incorrect. I made sure I didn't type it wrong and it still didn't work. I've tried numerous times and nothing works. I've even tried other passwords to see if I had a brain fart or something. I asked my admins and it did the same thing to them.

Is there a way I can log in? Please I need help.

Someone with access to do so had to of set it to Maintenance Mode.
They also may have changed your information if they had access to Modify Member Accounts.
Since you can not login I would assume your access was lowered as only Admins can login to Maint Mode.
Im afraid you will have to get in touch with anyone who had such access and see if you can get them to fix it, return things back to normal.   There is no "backdoor" or fix to get you in there unfortunately and is why we constantly tell people to be very careful how much access they give others on their forums.

You could "try" this to reset the root admin account but if they changed your email address it is useless.
