Locked out of Wiki - Administrator login doesn't work!

Hi,

 

I made some changes to the roles on my daisy installation to create a new role with full read/write access. Shortly after, the server was re-started and I assumed that this would cause the changes to take effect. Instead, it has locked all logins, including administrator access. I don't have control over the server and am hoping that the person who does can solve this. Can anyone offer any advice as to what I can do to get back in to my wiki?

 

Cheers,

Pete Frederick

When you create new roles, you do not need to restart the server for
them to take affect. You can try going into the database and resetting
the admin from there.

Changing roles should not influence your ability to log in to Daisy.

If you can not log in, you should use an other Daisy user with
administrator rights to restore the login,

If you don't have any users with administrator rights,
you will have to add the role using mysql (check out the tables users,
user_roles in the database)  (of course this would require access to the
server)

If can't log in it probably means you forgot your password, again an
administrator Daisy users can reset it for you.
(again, if there is no administrator user left, you can reset the
password in mysql: update user set password=sha1('mypassword') where
login='frederick'
