Let Me In | Create DNN Host User Tool

LetMeIn - DNN Emergency Create Host User Tool

OMG! Someone changed the super user password and now nobody knows how to access the site!
(ugh!, there was a single super user account created on the DNN instance)

OMG! I've restored (with DNNBackup, of course) this site, but I don't know any user I can use to login!

OMG! The user is not configured to allow new user registrations, and anyway I don't have direct access to the database to make the 'issuperuser=true' trick!

Don't worry, download this "LetMeIn.aspx" page and upload it to the root of your web site. Then execute it by calling it in the browser (https://www.example.com/LetMeIn.aspx). You'll get a simple form like seen in the screenshot below. Create a new host (super)user and you'll be able to access your site.

Remember to delete "LetMeIn.aspx" as soon as you've finished!

...about DNNBackup

Steve K.

I have had nothing but good experiences working with this software and it has saved me on numerous occasions. DNN is great software but sometime things go wrong during upgrades of extensions or DNN versions, so it is absolutely essential to have a reliable backup and restore strategy like Evotiva DNNBackup provides.

Excellent module. It even perform differential backups on the file system. Highly recommend it.

Evotiva is the best backup tool for DNN ever. Even in excellent hosting locations, it's always a great idea to have an independent 3rd party location backup. I use Evotiva backup to weekly send a zip of the database and folder structure to an AWS or FTP location for safe keeping. Evotiva helps power my backup strategy and lets me sleep at night!
