Resetting System Admin's Password
Page: 1
Recent posts in this topic
I had an admin configured for the email of martin@mdjstudios.com but then added myself as a user and used the same email address. Now I am unable to log back into the system admin because of the email screw up. How can I reset the system admin info or what files can I edit to fix this? It won't detect the admin email forgot password check even if I change my users email address to something else.
EDIT: I look in mySQL under users and I see all users except for the system admin. What info under the mySQL do i need to edit to make myself system administrator?

Which version of activeCollab do you have running? Free, open source version or commercial one?

It is not possible to have one email used for multiple accounts. MySQL will not let you do that.
To manually set administrator you'll need to open acx_roles table and see what is ID of role with administration permissions (by default it is Administrators role with ID 1). Now that you know administrators role ID you'll need open acx_users table and set role_id field to that value. When saved clear all cch_ files from /cache folder and login again.
That should do the trick. Please let me know how it went.
