[HELP] Locked out of Bigbluebutton-How to reset admin privileges to admin@test.com

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Good day,
I installed Bigbluebutton 0.63 on Ubuntu 9.04 and all went fine, until I
"accidentaly" tried to delete the default "admin@test.com" account, after
creating another user.
Although the system did not let me, by returning an error, I now cannot
access my system with administrative privileges (missing options in the
admin page, like Manage Users). Although, I changed the the
file"_adminmenubar.gsp" so that it displays the link to "Manage Users" even
if the logged user is not an administrator, when I click the link I get the
message "You do not have permissions to access this page".

So, is there any way to reset the administrative privileges to the default
account "admin@test.com", because I am essentially locked out.
Maybe using 

Also, is there any way that I can protect myself or any of the other users
from doing the same thing?

Please,  if anyone knows of way to help me out, I will be grateful...
Bill

Hi Bill,
The web interface for BBB is deprecated and no longer supported (it was never 
really 
supported but was instead more of an example). You can use the
API examples in 0.63 for examples on how to create meetings. Also the password 
is 
stored
in the sql database so you'd have to write some queries to overwrite it, which 
would 
be a pain.
Also please post to http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-dev to find
solutions to problems. This is more of an issue tracker for bugs.

Hi Bill,

Denis is right in that we're depreciating the current grails interface. 

If you want to create a banded login screen with userid and password, then
