Locked out of site after changing table prefixes... [Solved]

Nuke Soldier Joined: Aug 09, 2004 Posts: 22

I was reading over the forums here, trying to do more things to secure my site, and I seem to have really screwed something up...

I changed the prefix on all my tables to something other than the default "nuke" and now I can't log into my admin panel. (Yes, I changed the values in config.php to what they need to be already. Wink

)

When I went to log into my site I got the following error:

Quote:

Pending Administration Access

Sorry, your administration login temporarily suspended due of these following reasons:

• Staffs other than God Admin creating a new admin account for you.
• Staffs other than God Admin upgrading or downgrading your admin priviledges.
• You or other staffs changing your admin nickname.
• You or other staffs changing your admin password.
• God Admin temporarily suspending your admin account.
• Unauthorized person altering or modifying your admin account.

Due of site security policy, you should contact or email God Admin (webmaster or the owner of this site) for account approval request.
Sorry for this inconvenience.

[ Logout ]

Protected by Admin Secure

I tried running asec.php to see if I can restore whatever has gone wrong, and I get the following:

Quote:

Access Denied

You are not authorized to access this page.

That's it... no special boxes to put in new "unlock" keys or anything. Just the access denied page.

Anyone have any solutions?

First you have to logout as admin. Type this in browser address bar:

Code:

http://yoursite.foo.bar/admin.php?op=logout

How, run asec.php, enter the two security codes and then do "God Admin Approval". Login as god admin again, Run asec.php and approve all remaining unapproved accounts. You can do that using one-click from top link (under menu icons).

Hope this help. Smile

I am not getting the "two security codes". All I am getting is the message that I posted above in my last message. :-/

Any other ideas?

Once you have logged out of the administration using the code madman had posted and replacing yoursite.foo.bar with your domain name then you will have a place to enter the two security codes that you were given when you installed Admin Secure.

I did all of that before, but I did it again, and still nothing. Sad

I even cleared my cookies, cache, etc and closed out of my browser and went directly to my asec.php file after I re-opened, and I still got the result that you see below.

I have included screenshots of my steps just to make sure I am doing it correctly:

Here is the screen I am getting:

If I am not following the steps correctly, please let me know how I am going astray, as this has me totally locked out of my entire site. (Then again, so would be everyone else! haha, secure it is! Laughing

)

Thanks for the help. Very Happy

BAM! Figured it out.

It seems the asconfig.php file doesn't use the $prefix variable, and it was hard set to having nuke_ as the table prefix. Once I changed my tables, it was freaking out, and not letting me in. That's why I couldn't log into my admin functions, and that is also why I wasn't getting the unlock key form in asec.php either.

Thanks for the help everyone. Very Happy

Glad to heard you can figure it out for yourself.
