 Hi Guys,
Here I am again.
I set up a new user for my site and then logged in to check the settings. I set the user to change the password when they logged in, but because I have admin Tools WAF on I can't change the password, or reenter the same one etc.
I also can't log out, or access Admin tools to change the setting as per #9799 because I can't do anything.
When I try to change after the : "You are required to reset your password before proceeding." message I get the 403 error.
Love to know how to get out of this.
Should I disable main.php to get back in? Knew I would get to read that big red message again! (#21658)
Thanks
Jenny

Hello Jenny,

if you want to allow users to edit their profiles, you have to turn off the feature Disable editing backend users' properties

I know that Davide but I cannot get to Admin tools to disable it.
I am in a new user's profile. I have to reset the password to progress but the WAF won't let me make any changes so I have a loop going.
If I try to change the password I get a 403 error message. I cannot log out to get into my own (superuser account). I cannot change the password - hence this ticket.
Disable main.php???
Thanks
Jenny

Yes, disable main.php file, turn off the protection then re-enable it.
That should fix your problem
