Lost Admin Account

Postby AngryMoose » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:30 am

Is there a way to force admin privileges back onto an account, I'm not sure how I've done it but it looks like I don't have any account with admin anymore.

The "admin" user can't be deleted or modified, so if you remember its password you can use that.

Otherwise you have to either wipe out the subsonic database or reset the password by manually connecting to the database. I can provide the details if you're interested.

The admin account is what I currently log in with it just seems to not have the admin options on it anymore. Resetting the database is fine by me since I'm really the only person using it.

To reset the database, do the following:

1. Stop subsonic.
2. Rename SUBSONIC_HOME/db to SUBSONIC_HOME/db.old
3. Start subsonic.
