Ok, I think i got your problem,
If you logout and log back in because you have edited your .ini to make yourself admin,
Never use your controlpanel, You have to download the .ini via ftp then edit then reupload,
As the password is encrypted the control panel editor corrupts it

Well you dont have to use FTP, You just have to find the .ini and download it onto your computer, Then you edit it and upload it again, And restart your server,
FTP is something like,
SmartFTP, or Filezilla, ect

Ah I see, but what exactly is the ini file? I see it just says "ini file". Normally I was just opening it with notepad or wordpad.

I'm sorry that this is such a hassle, but i'm pretty new at this stuff. What do you mean "download to your computer"?

Okay I extraced it to my desktop, changed the admin level, but then I didn't get what you mean to "Go to your control panel" because when I reloaded the server I wasn't an admin.. If you mean control panel like from the "Start" button, there is no "upload"
