Hi All,

While doing some testing on a new install (2.64) I accidentally checked the "Disable Account" check box, and disabled my master (and only) admin account.

I was able to go into PHPMyAdmin and edit the value to regain access, but it was pretty anxiety provoking for a while.

Any way to guard against that happening? (besides just paying better attention...)

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry,

Good find. Just as you can't delete the primary admin account, it makes sense that you should not be able to disable that account as well.

I will send this on to Dave to get this added so that the disable checkbox is not available for the primary admin account.

Thanks!

Cheers,
