[Solved] My admin login no longer works

BigGBigG
edited October 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
I have been logging in and out all day without a problem.

I exported from SMF and started importing - all was going well, but I accidentally closed the browser window whilst it was importing.

No when I go to login using my admin username and password it is not recognised.

Even when I choose 'forgot password', my email address is not recognised.

How can I reset everything so that I can go in and try importing again?

Thanks for any help!

    its going to be bit hard but i think it can be done
    through phpmyadmin - add your name and email to gdn_user and you will have to give that user an admin role - and then from front end request password reset with the email you have provided.

    so your database for gdn_user is all empty? or does it show any entries there?

    So if I go into phpAdmin I can reset / change my Vanilla admin username and password?

    I'm not that familiar with php (a bit of a newbie with php I'm afraid). Have found the admin and GDN_user, but not sure how to add the name and email ;-(

    As this is a virgin forum, I have deleted all the Vanilla files from my server and started from scratch again fresh.

    Thank you for your help though - much appreciated.

    Thanks
