I want to do the same thing.
I set my forum up using some test data, now want to change the admin user name to something more official. Is there a database query that I can run that will change everything over. |

There are at least 4 ways to do this.
First, you can just open up your database and edit the username directly in the database. To change the password, just edit your profile and change it there.
Second, you can register a new user, then log back in as your original username and Modify the profile of the new user you just registered as and make them an Admin.
Third, if you don't have access to the database, you can create a script to change the username.
Fourth, if you don't have access to the database, you can use the Alternate MOD Setup and enter the following in the text box:[UPDATE]
MEMBERS
M_NAME#'new_username'#M_NAME = 'old_username'
[END] obviously, you would enter your own values for new_username and old_username |

Just edited the members table. Also changed the m-username field as well.
Wasnt sure if there were foreign keys that were hanging off any of the fields - is why I didnt just go in and change it before. |
