    My Superuser account has a login name of host.  I have a few DNN9 websites that I log in to with no problems but on one of my sites I enabled 'Use Email Address as Username' so now I cant login anymore as obviously 'host' is not an email address, I have tried to login using the associated emil address but I get "A critical error has occurred. Please check the Event Viewer for further details."  I can still login to the other sites using 'host' so I think this setting change only applies to the one site.  How do I disable 'Use Email Address as Username' for the new site so I can login as host again without logging in as Superuser?  I do have server access so am able to edit files if this is the solution.  Can anyone help?

      Try to change the userneme 'host' to an email address and then try again after restarting the server or AppPool. You will need to use the email to login as the super user after that. I had the same issue and I think I used a solution something like that. Please, try and let me know if it works.

        Thanks but if I try login using the Superuser associated address I get: "A critical error has occurred. Please check the Event Viewer for further details." The log shows the following

Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.aspnet_Users' with unique index 'aspnet_Users_Index'. The duplicate key value is (b689b47a-8eba-4c8f-a64c-d03e9fb7c6ae, [email protected]). The statement has been terminated. The statement has been terminated.

          DNN holds 'username' property in db table [Users] and [aspnet_Users]. And property 'email' is in [aspnet_Membership] too. Make sure that there is consistency between these tables.
