nahh..you require cookies to login. If you can't login as admin you can't enter the admin section. I suggest editing the database instead, adding and changing the options there.

I had a look at the database but was unable to see where i was meant to change the admin login options there,especially refering to cookies,please advise!

You can't change the cookie settings. It's just the way how this forum works. You need cookies

What i suggested is if you need to change other settings, such as upload size, email settings and such..you can edit the database instead of using the admin section.
