How to make an admin account via phpmyadmin?

Regular Joined: May 08, 2004 Posts: 77

My website was hacked phpnuke6.7 Sad

I did remove the hacker with phpmyadmin. In fact i did remove all admins..
Now i cant get in the admin section. Im getting the option to create an account but after doing so im logging in with the same account and it just brings me back to create an admin account again.

Is there a way to create an admin account using phpmyadmin?

Hmmm. If you deleted all admin accounts and then created a new one via nuke, that should work. Try deleting all entries in the author's table again and going through the create again. Make sure that you uncheck the radio button that says to create a user by the same name unless you need to recreate a new user record also. Report back if that still doesn't work.

I think your right Raven (as if there was any doubt Very Happy

). In all the times I was hacked and they altered my authors I just empty the table (not drop it) and when I try to log in as an admin it made me create a God account first.

No accounts are created... Did try with and without a new user Sad

Cant find any accounts in authors..
I did some security changes in admin.php and mainfile.php, but im that stupid that i really dont know what ive changed..(and no backups) Bang Head

(website is 2 month offline now..)

So i guess that i need to create 1 within the database itself Embarassed

Help would be great ! Can give you acces Raven to see for yourself..
