I was changing forum permissions for security reasons. While I was making changes I was also changing unregistered and not logged in permissions.

I saved the settings and logged off and then was going to log in on my test account to see if the settings are the way I want them.

As it turned out I accidentally changed it that not logged in members couldn't see the forum, which to me is why there isn't a way to log in.

Short story, every admin, moderator, member, etc on my forum is locked out and we can't use it.

Is there any way someone could do a setting restore to about 2 hours before the post of this message for my forum? Or will we need to use the back up and make a new forum and then delete the old one so we can use our original name?

I don't want to have to start all over.

My posted was closed and after posting and reading other posts I noticed "Members of UnlimitedMB READ THIS!!" which as I read means unregistered members are only allowed to post here which is true and thought I need to make that clear but it was too late. I'm not the one who started the forum I'm that's locked up, I'm just an admin. If this gets closed again I will register if that's possible.

The account owner is the only one authorized to make any changes on an account or to request support for the account.

Once you change the database the changes are then backed up and go over the previous backup. The account owner should be able to login to phpmyadmin and change something to make it work. Contact the makers of the forum.
