Help Getting Back into Moodle

by Wendy Harper - Friday, August 21, 2020, 8:58 AM

i apparently changed a setting to prevent a user from updating their profile.

Unfortunately, I added a custom profile field and now moodle will not allow me to update the field, or change the permissions (to allow a user to update their profile). I am receiving "forbidden" when I try to update my profile with the new required field I added.

I own the site, I am the tech support. Everything has been great, until I did this. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you in advance!

Moodle 3.9

I am able to make a new account. I did that... I am searching for a way to change the role of the new account (would need to do it through sql database??)

I figured it out! I was able to edit admins in the database and turn off the requirement for the new information to be entered to continue. Thank you to the many people who answered posts in the past. If it wasn't for all your answers, i don't think I could have peiced the parts together and fixed it.
