I mean when this happen to the main account holder of the forum. You just upload the file to the same place as the SSI.php file?

Sorry, It's was my faulth about the unclear post I made :)

When anyone who has the database password needs their account administrated, they can use this file in the same directory as SSI.php.

Sorry to bump this old topic but I wanted to say thank you to Labradoodle-360 for this script. I learned a few things simply by reading the code.

REally sorry to bump this after so long, but I've read this and not being a super-whizz with the tech stuff, I wanted to ask a question:
Does this trick only work once administration rights have been removed/lost?
I have uploaded it to the correct directory (same as SSI.php) but nothing happened. So I wondered if I don't actually install it unless I already lost admin rights?
Sorry again for the idiot question and bump.

Not a problem. This is in case you lose your administration rights. It just modifies your id_group in the database automatically for you.

Ok many thanks for that. I will delete until it might be needed.
Really wish SMF would auto-protect #1 member, but hey-ho.

Protect it against what, exactly? SMF won't let you remove group 1 from any member unless the person doing it is also in group 1, and it won't let you remove group 1 from a user if that user is the only group 1 user. What's left to protect?

On the other hand, what happens if you leave the forum and sell it on? If user 1 is auto protected, that option becomes impossible.
