Hi,  
  
So I stupidly wondered what would happen if I clicked disable on my Continua user account whilst I was logged in. I’m now logged out and locked out of Continua and can’t log back in to enable my account. My account is the only account (besides from the guest account), so there are no other users who can log in to enable it for me. I feel like a fail-safe for this eventuality might’ve been a good idea in hindsight, but I have no-one to blame but myself.  
  
I hope there is some way I can re-enable my account? Else I’m in trouble. I have full access to the server machine and the installation / PostgreSQL files, is there a config file for user accounts? Or something?  
  
Thanks in advance (and sorry…).&nbsp;  
  
Regards,  
Luke

Hmm, I seem to recall there was something in there to prevent a total lock out, will get it looked at. You can fix this by changing the enabled field in the core\_user table. Run   
  
 c:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI\Server\PostgreSQL\bin\pgAdmin3.exe port is 9001, the user id and password are in   
  
 c:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI\Server\Continua.Server.Service.exe.config

Hi Luke, thank you for reporting this.   
  
 We have added some additional checks to ensure that users cannot disable the last admin.   
  
 Thanks again

Thanks for the response guys, I’ve edited the core\_user table and I’m now up and running again.
