You're a genious...worked perfectly.
Now, the problem is...I can't log in. The SMF 'admin' user account i made does not exisit...so I can't get to the administrator side. I did a 'forgot' password but 'admin' was not found.
did the (( UPDATE smf_members SET passwd = 'test' WHERE memberName ='username'; )) query in the database, but it pulled up nothing.
So, can't reset it..or do much now

suggestions? ((and i am not savy on backend server stuff, i am surprised i made it this far))
