Hi,

I've recently installed VF at http://www.photography.net/community/

I used to be able to get to my dashboard at http://photography.net/community/dashboard/settings It no longer seems to work and I cannot login to edit my settings. I'm new to all this. Help appreciated.

Thanks,
J.D.

    You have to select the database first or

    UPDATE `DatabaseName`.GDN_User SET `Admin`=1 WHERE `Name` = 'YourUserName' 
    

    grep is your friend.

    Do you remember who is the default admin?

    You can execute this query in phpMyAdmin:

    UPDATE GDN_User SET `Admin`=1 WHERE `Name` = 'YourUserName' 
    

    grep is your friend.

    @x00 Thanks for the response. I'm not sure how to do what you suggest. I do know my User name, Database Name, and Password. The problem is when I try to go to my dashboard which I think is at www.photography.net/community/dashboard/settings it just takes me to the forum user sign-in screen instead of my dashboard.

    I tried doing a query in phpAdmin but clearly don't know what I am doing.
