I have a client who has access to a subdomain of ours. She sent the following message:

Our company is changing names so I wanted the site unavailable while I switched the information over. I disabled the login and put up a message about the site down time. I then did something that I now regret and didn’t completely think through. I made the login module invisible by removing the permissions for users. I was thinking I can still access it and change the permissions back as the master user unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact that I still needed to login. I’m just hoping I can still gain access someway and I’m not going to have to rebuild the whole site.

Normally, as the master administrator, I also access these subdomains through the login window, but since i have the master admin credentials, I can get to everything. Since she disabled that login window, I can't get to the site that way. Is there some way as the master admin for me to unlock that site and get to the pages to reactivate the login page so she can get back in and make her changes?

Did you try a manual login link like /login?
If that does not work the only way to fix this is to set the current login page to deleted in the database (& restart DNN, by ediuting the web.config) , but for that you obviously need access to the database. (in that case DNN should revert to the "default login page")

As Timo says. Please note that you have to set the IsDeleted flag in the TabModules table.

Happy DNNing!
