Can't access Mambo Administration after loading SMF Bridge

[Toblet]

I'm having an interesting time loading the Mambo bridge, but the most critical issue at this time is that it seems to have locked me out of my Mambo Administration.

I had installed the bridge component and everything seemed to go okay. Then after being away from my desk and my usual Mambo Admin session timing out, I tried to log back in with username and password and received a "Incorrect username, password or access level" message. This occurs with all admin username and passwords. (there are 3)

Interestingly, I can still log onto the public site using my username(s) and password(s) - I had yet to update this to use the SMF login, so it's still using the Mambo login.

I tried to use an SMF login, but that didn't work.

I have the same username and password for the Mambo administration as the SMF administration. Could this be confusing it? I tried changing the password to SMF, but still encounter the problem.

I also attempted to reset the password using phpMyAdmin and the instructions shown on the Mambo forum thread "Change your superadmin pass via phpMyAdmin", http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=75272 [nofollow]however this did not resolve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You probably have conflicting information in your mos_core_acl_groups_aro_map table.

Go to PhpMyAdmin, and look for your username.  Remember the "aro_id" associated with that username.

Now go to the mos_core_acl_groups_aro_map table.  Find that aro_id.  If there aretwo entries, one with a group_id of 25 and the other with a group_id of 18, delete the entry with 18.

Thank you very much Orstio, that appears to have fixed the problem. 

Now I just have to get the template working!
