The reason that your new admin is still unable to access the admincp is because you have locked out access to the admincp to the administrator accounts.

If you have made source code edits, that would explain why phpFox has decided to not assist you in fixing this issue, as well as any other issues you have. Source code edits void your support option.

There are many different tables and fields in those tables in the phpFox database, if you are unfamiliar with the setup then it can be a very difficult process to find the correct table/field to edit. Because I don’t know the extent of the source code edits you have done, I don’t feel comfortable giving you an answer to solve this issue in the database, for fear of further messing things up. I do know that the tables you are looking for pertain to user_group and most likely have user_group in their table name. And the fields you would be looking for should have admincp in them.

Another option you have would be to load up a default installation as a development site, and check the administrator account in that one to see what the data should read in those tables/fields.

And yet another option would be to go to the phpFox forum and post asking for assistance in fixing the issue, someone may respond with a solution or respond with an offer to help for a fee :)

It would appear that you have changed the user group settings for your Administrator user group and not for the Registered User account that I had highlighted in this article. In doing so, you locked your administrator accounts out of the admincp.

You have two options to correct this. The first is contact phpFox support and have them correct it for you. The second would be to enter the database itself and change the data for the Administrator user group in the user group tables. If you are not comfortable with manually accessing the database, then I would suggest contacting phpFox support.
