	I just downloaded and installed the latest WebWiz forums. Changed the admin account. Locked the forums. Then logged out. WebWiz now refuses to allow me to login, so I can't unlock the forum. I searched these forums for "locked" and a couple of deviations, but nothing came up. What's the fix for this? This is the SQL Server version BTW. Andrew Edited by kazmax - 23 August 2006 at 11:51pm

	Please post in the Support Forum next time. And this subject has been discussed many times now.

	My apologies, I hadn't realised there was a support forum, and searching for the word "locked" across all forums produced nothing of interest. The referenced admin.asp page doesn't appear to exist on my site. I'll head over the the support forum (if I can find it!) and see if I can find what I'm looking for. Andrew

	the support forums are located here the reason the it wont let you sign in, is because you locked the the forum (obviously) as the forum doesnt know if your a normal user or an admin. to unlock the forum you need to go back to the admin area. if your using version 8, type "admin.asp" in the forum folder (eg www.yoursite.com/forum/admin.asp) or how ever you set it up if your using version 7 type "/admin/" in the forum folder (eg www.yoursite.com/forum/admin/) or how ever your set the forum up

	Thanks Scotty32. That fixed it. Problem was that I had modified the admin.asp file last night according to an instruction I found posted by boRg. And that caused the page to error when I attempted to load it. Removed the update and was then able to bring the forums online again. Andrew
