I have problem with my admin panel and cannot access some of its features like Core Features/Features and Options/Security and Moderation/Modification Settings all show error like GATEWAY NOT FOUND,
I thought it to be my hosting provider's problem, and i tried to move my whole files and database to a new server but the problem remained the same,
I need a config file like "repair_settings.php" to change few features like change "CORE FEATURES", "FEATURES AND OPTIONS", "SECURITY AND MODERATION"
Gateway Not Found is indeed a hosting problem, not an SMF problem.
i just want to know where the captcha code lies , i just want to disable captcha while registering... where is it present??
and how to disable it by editing the code...
Admin > Configuration > Security and Moderation > Anit-Spam
Visual verification image to display : set to "None"
to disable the admin log-in when you enter Admin panel
Admin > Configuration > Security and Moderation > General
Disable administration security
that does not really help when a user cant actually enter the admin panel, as stated in the op.
Ohhhhhhhh, ok. He can't access anything at all.

Ya i am unable to access that section... Neither i know where the code for captcha lies.. :(
You can run these queries in phpMyAdmin to disable captcha and admin security:
REPLACE INTO smf_settings (variable, value) VALUES ('securityDisable', 1);
REPLACE INTO smf_settings (variable, value) VALUES ('reg_verification', 0);

It worked , thanks for that and
i only want to disable captcha while a user registers into forum,are both queries necessary, which query to execute?, and are there any ways to secure my admin panel effectively?
The first one disables admin security, the second one disables CAPTCHA on the registration page. There is no other way to secure the admin area - either use SMF's built-in feature (and contact your host if this isn't working on your server) or don't use it at all.
