I've lost my ability to log in to the site as the admin

I have lost my ability to log in to the site as the admin. I do not remember changing my access. What are my alternatives? I do not want to loose the site. In addition, I do not see the Admin Superuser as a member. Crying or Very sad

And, it looks as though there is an error in login.php.

Sincerely,

well im sure you know what your admin username was?
go into phpmyadmin and reset your password.

Your admin account will be in the nuke_authors table.
If your regular user account is working, copy the password from your account in the nuke_users table and paste it into the password field in the nuke_authors table for your account.
You can then use your regular account password to log into the admin area - change it when you can.

I am in the folder now. There is one very long coded password there. About 20 or so letters and numbers. You are saying, I should remove this and replace it with my working user password? Correct?

Ok, I did this but, it did not work.

No 'copy' it into the nuke_authors table so you are replacing the password with one which you know works.
Given that you can see in plain text the admin username and you will now have a password which you know works (it works for your normal user account) - if it will still not let you log in, the you are going to have to look at any changes you have made to your site recently and back track from there - things stop working for a reason.
