Cannot Login (Mysidia 1.3.4 fresh install)

For some reason, sometimes the first user to register (the admin) won't be able to login at all. The only solution I found I was to create another user and promote it to admin. I think it's because of a null parameter in the database (session I believe) but I'm not really sure why it works sometimes and others it doesn't.

Try that first, and if it starts throwing those errors again, we can try other stuff x.x

Wait...How would I promote a new account to admin if I can't even login? That doesn't entirely make sense to me ^.=.^;;

You have access to your database with the account you use to login to the host's control panel, even without account on the site directly
Go to phpMyAdmin (somewhere on the control panel) > your database (must be on the left side or by clicking on Databases at the top) > (prefix)_users > change usergoup of the user you want to 1 to make it admin


(basically your site saves all information/data in a database and you can modify it directly when needed)

Ok, that makes a lot more sense! I didn't even think about that...So, register new user, change it in PHPMyAdmin to the Admin group, and then I login. Ok, got it :3 I'll do that now and edit this with the results!

EDIT: Ok, after a bit of going back and forth of it saying it had the wrong information for logging in, I finally got it! Yay! Thank you!
