XF 1.1 Lost Admin Permissions

[Cal]

Well not lost perhaps. I bought a forum from another guy and it's been hell getting it to work. Long story short I got it working. YAY. However I do not have the admin login or password. So I am a member on my own site. NOT YAY. How do I give myself admin permissions? I also would like to be the official super admin....

((this is like step one out of 10. I still need to convert it to VB...then import it into an existing Xenforo forum....))

Nevermind. Figured it out via phpmyadmin and the database directly.

Put your userid number on the appropriate line in your config.php file.

Naw that wasn't it. Thank you though biker. I found it directly in the database under the xf_user table.

You still need to add your ID to config.php. That's what identifies you as a superadmin.

Go to phpmyadmin and at the SQL box run this query:

UPDATE xf_user SET user_group_id = 3 WHERE user_id = x;

Where x equals your uid. Then enter your uid at the config.php file. i.e. at this part.

$config['superAdmins'] = 'x';

Hope it helps.
