Admin member without permissions

(1/2) > >>

Gentleman99:
Hello there.
I got a SMF 2.0.2 board and running really great but somehow there's a member who is able to give himself admins permissions. He's "friendly" and has no bad intentions but i checked every permission and he's not doing any "additional groups" - he also has no password of any moderator (checked logs and changed personally every password also mine) and changed passwords of server/hosting/cpanel/ftp ...everything. Nothing on him but it gives me sense of "stupidity" because he can do everything he wants with MY forum and if another one comes with his same "powers" he could destroy our forum... how this is possible? i'm 100% safe on giving him passwords and changed them one by one 3 times in 2 days... but this scares me.

Hope i wrote everything good and you can understand, i'm italian. :)

Ciao Gentleman99 e benvenuto su sm.org! :P

Well...no, to me it's not completely clear, in particular this part:

If he can change the password of your cpanel...well, that's a bit scary and you probably have some bigger problem there...

If you feel more comfortable, you can come to the Italian board and explain your the issue in Italian so that we can understand each other better. ;)

I think he said that GentleMan changed his own password for cpanel and all that stuff not the guy who has admin powers.
