In my last posted topic, (which wasn't asking for admin abilities), was also reporting a bug in the software

If my site won't get deleted, can at least someone go into settings.php and and set maintenance mode to 0 so that i can reset my password?
That function won't work if the site is in maintenance mode and i want to begin working on this site again.

read the underlined text. You guys should really read the post thoroughly before just locking the topic, as I was report an issue with maintenance mode.
I understand it's your policy, that's why i never asked again. I seriously don't understand how asking if maintenance mode could be turned off so that i can reset my password is asking for admin abilities? I don't get it. Please explain to me in detail how is that so.
