I did backup my db before upgrading. What would the best (easiest-simple-minded) way to reset my admin? I've never had to restore from backup - not sure if I can because of the upgrade. I'm a user, not programmer in anyones mind... I have phpadmin access; what is best way to recover admin/root privs?

If you have access to the db, then you have access and the power the change anything , just find your account in the db edit it, change the passwd then change the passwd to blank so it wont get encripted, then you go back and edit your acct and change the passwd field to md5 or you can just do
<?php
$password = md5( "Yourpasswordhere" );
echo $password;
?>
then put the encrypted passwd in your db
Text Formatted Code
<?php
$password = md5( "Yourpasswordhere" );
echo $password;
?>
then put the encrypted passwd in your db
