While I was logged into my site and was doing some editing, I accidentally DELETED my Admin privliges as an administrator under the Manage User Roles feature.

As of now I have no way to log into my site and edit it at all as there currently no longer exists and Admin account.  How can I create a new one and fix this major problem.

Thanks in advance.

use the host account to re-assign admin role.

Unfortunately I think the host account was also deleted.  What happened was I was trying to clean up that User Roles and I accidentlly removed admin privliges from both of the TWO original accounts.  Meaning the admin account and the host account I think.  What happened was as soon as I left that page I was no longer an admin and could no longer edit the site.

Is there a way to create a new admin account.

Also here is a problem.  There is stil ONE ADMIN account that exists.  However I cannot retrieve the password.  I tried clicking on the "Password Reminder" button on the Login page for the DNN software.  It sent an email to my address, however it stated my username, but it left the password BLANK.  It provided a Verification Code: 8-8 and Authorized: True.

So the bottom line is I can no longer log in to my own site.  There is one username that still exists that is an Admin account but the password cannot be retrieved as it sends me a blank line when I request it.

I sincerely appreciate all of your help.  Thanks alot.

If you can register a new user, or if you have a user account that isn't admin ... and if you have access to your site's database, go into the Users table and set IsSuperUser to true for that account.

I do have access to my sites database, however I am not sure where to find the Users Table.  Can you please guide me to the location where I will be able to find the Users Table when I am logged into my hosting control panel.  There I can access all of the sites files and DBs but I do not know where to find this Table in which I can edit account functions.
