    Access as administrator

    I have taken over the administration of a umbraco website but I have only been given a password so I can login and view the content. I need to access as an administrator, but I don't know how to do that. I have access to all files etc. via ftp so I assume that it must be possible to have full access. It is running on a MySQL server

    Can you please tell me what to do?

    Hi NewMember and welcome to our :)

    The easiest would be to get the "Master" administrator login from the guys you have been taking over for. But I guess that might not necessarily be an option since you're asking for help in here.

    The only other option is to reset the password for the "Master" administrator account I guess - There is a lot of information about how to do that in this post https://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/4790-ouch-forgot-admin-password-how-to-reset - Make sure to read it all since there are different approaches and make sure to make a backup of the database first. Better safe than sorry :)

    One of the mentioned options have been written as a few easy steps here http://www.yart.com.au/blog/Reset-Umbraco-admin-password.aspx

    I hope this helps!

    /Jan
