[Forum] Locked out of vb

[misterwaterfalli]

so ichanged my url and now am locked out of my site...i changed it back to the origional url name but it didnt change it...i here there is a file that will help unlock my site....Does anyone know what thats called, and if so step by step instructions on how to use it?

Find and Upload a file called TOOLS.PHP ; it comes with your vBulletin zip file package.

is that all i have to do is just upload it into my hosting? im not real sure where to upload it to and what to do with it after i upload it? im really bad at this lol sorry

It sounds like maybe this is a cookie issue? If so, as Anders said, upload tools.php to your admincp, point your browser to it, and reset your cookie domain. Then remove it from your site.

i guess i dont know how to upload tools to my admincp....i just transfered the files into my forums folder....im also not sure how to point my browser to it?....Im not sure if this is something really simple or not im just pretty unfamiliar with the concept. I apologizes, is there a place where i can read step by step how to do it?

Upload the tools.php file to the admincp directory. And you run it by using the URL to the Admin CP, using tools.php at the end instead of index.php.
