Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: 2.5.8
PHP version: 5.3.8
MySQL version: 5.1.65
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.4.1

Description of my issue: I changed the super admin ID, this renamed the old super user to vv9I_admin which is fine BUT now the admin user is not there and so cannot login to the site with admin.

Fortunately I was testing this on a test site so its not a big problem but I'd like to do this on my production site.

Please advice.

Ni Nicholas,

Thanks for your response.

I did read the documentation, and I need your help in understanding it:

Your doc says, this function will:

1. It creates a new user with a random ID between 1 and 41 (let's call him "New User"). - It did not do this.

2. It copies all the settings, including the username, password and email address, from the Default User (the one with an ID of 62 or 42) to the New User. - It did not do this.

3. It prefixes the username and email address of the Default User with a string consisting of four random characters and a dash. This is ok

4. It changes the password of the Default User to something completely random. This is ok

5. It sets the "Block" parameter of the Default User to Yes, disabling his ability to log in to the site. This is ok.

What am I missing here? I had an admin user which is not there anymore. I however have another super user account, do you think this could have caused the issue?

Thanks

Gulam
