Locked out!

I was expermenting with the registration functions on my website and now I can't sign in to edit the site.
I set it so that registration is enabled, then set "use email as username".
However my admin username is not an email address and so it now won't allow me to use my admin usename to sign in!
Please can someone tell me how regain control of my site?

Do you have much experience with PHP My Admin?
I'm afraid not, but I'm willing to learn!

If you're lucky enough, you should be able to see the admin's email (as you entered it) by visiting the members' page. Gotohttp://yoursite/index.php/members/... and it should list the users including admin. Click on admin and you know what's the email. Use that to login with your password.
If not, use PhpMyAdmin.

I'm looking for a way to change the email account of the admin. I looked at this response in hopes it could help me. I am setting up a test site for someone that I will later switch to this test site. As I'm putting the site together I'm gonna put my email address in when I install, but how do I change that later. I keep seeing in the forums that people are talking about the admin account. Well ... I can't see it in dashboard, and the link that you put in this response ... when I use it ... it goes to a page and shows "admin," but when I click on it, it says "No page could be found at this address." Any idea as to what the problem is?
Are you using the "Filter by Group" option? if there are any boxes checked there, uncheck them.
The (super)admin account is not listed under the "administrator" filter.
if all boxes are unchecked you should see your (admin) account.

I have a similar problem except that my site seems to be routing the log-in request via https: rather than http: - as there is no SSL on the box the site falls over. Any help appreciated with this as I just can't seem to figure it out!
I have the exact same problem. Although when I go tohttp://yoursite/index.php/members/... I get nothing but a blank theme page with no content. This seems to be an easy and relatively common problem that needs some idiot-proofing for people like me.
