Help needed with Admin.php and security code generation...

Last night I installed Admin Secure on a Yahoo hosted website. They use PHP Nuke 6.0. The Admin Secure installer didn't work (gave me a database error) so I had to manually install the db tables. No problem there. In order to generate emergency codes after a manual install, you have to run ascode.php as "God". I have God set up properly but when I try to log in to Admin.php I get the Pending Admin Access Screen. Also when I try to run ascode.php, I get "you must be logged in as God" to run this module. When I try to run asec.php to get to the Admin Secure console, it takes me to "Access Denied" and requests entry of the emergency security code.

This is really frustrating because it looks like I am going in circles but very close. No matter what I do I can't generate the emergency codes. When I remove Admin Secure, everything is fine and admin.php allows me to log in as God with no issue. I understand Nuke 6.0 is old but apparently Yahoo Hosting won't allow upgrades and I hate not being able to upgrade it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if Admin Secure will even run on 6.0. It is fairly old now.
There is nothing I can suggest really, 6.0 isn't supported much now.

Yahoo hosting sucks, your money is better spent on a decent host.

Unfortunately I didn't find out about how bad they are until after I signed up. Do you have any other suggestions that I may be able to use to secure the site from SQL injections and admin hacks? I looked at other tools on the security page here and they don't support 6.0. Admin Secure was the only one listed that supported from 5.5 to 7+.
