[Solved] Faulty admin Theme locked myself out

Hello,

Please Help me I cannot access the Admin again because of a faulty new Admin Theme. Is there a way to restore the default admin theme formyself.

I was trying to renew the admin Theme and created a new one. I implemented it with My Preferences> user preferences. Unfortunately the new Theme I made is buggy so I cannot access the admin anymore.

I am mainly interested in saving a few front-end templates and style sheets... So If I cannot reinter admin at least I will not loose all my work. Could you help me with that ?

Subsidiary question: How can I find the database name used by this CMSMS ?

Thank You for your help.

Henris

Yes, that would be very easy: Just revert to your most recent backup ::)

Your database information is saved in the config.php file.

the user preferences are saved in cms_userprefs so you can also change your admin theme there.

There is a chance that if you deleted the new admin theme it would revert back to default theme...
