Reset administrator user

[forfun]

Hi all,
I know that I am the PIB, but I would appreciate if some one can show me how reset my SMF 2.0 RC3 forum (without losing any posts and members), so I can get back the default administrator user.
I have changed the name administrator to another name, and I can't change it back to administrator.
Thanks much in advanced for any info.

you can do a reset by using the smallupdate  http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-rc3_update.zip   

you will losse all your mods but you will get a nice clean forum without losing members or post


does that mean you cant log in with your new name?    just use the first one to log   or use this

I accidentally deleted my admin account, what do I do?

Do you mean Administrator as a username or as a usergroup ?

The very first user at the very first install the forum.

OK, you can try it with a workaround

Register a new user.
Then go to PHPMyAdmin and change this user from a regular user to an Admin

After that login as the new user and when everything went right this new user will have Admin permissions and you will be able to administrate your forum.
