HELP - Locked out!

HELP - Locked out!

I had my students register themselves this year using email-based self registration.  When they had all registered, I removed that as an option, which locked them all out.  I then went into phpMyAdmin and changed all the auth fields in mdl_user to 'Manual'.

Now, I am locked out.  I am the sole admin so it is essential that I get back in.  I still have access to the database through phpMyAdmin but I don't know what to change.  The SQL statement I ran was:

UPDATE mdl_user SET auth = 'Manual'


Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Life lesson:  Don't mess with phpMyAdmin before the morning coffee.


My problem:   the correct entry for manual accounts is 'manual' - NOT 'Manual'


The solution:  UPDATE mdl_user SET auth = 'manual'
