Try executing this into your logon DB with navicat or sqlyog;

INSERT INTO `accounts` (`acct`, `login`, `password`, `gm`, `banned`, `email`, `flags`, `banreason`) VALUES ('3', 'username', 'password', '0', '0', 'email', '24', '',')

edit it for your acc info.

You didnt give him admin powers.

put "az" in the gm column.

walshie, its my own server, i just set it up with at ******* ultimate repack 9.0, it isnt even online yet, but it says tghe username and pw should both be admin but it wont work

You have a server without a database? Can you link the repack thread?

He said he's using Ac - Web Ultimate Repack. The site bleeps it out for some reason, but he is confused about, as it seems, what a database is. He is more than likely very new to emulator's. What you need, munch2u, is a database editor. I recommend Navicat, which can be downloaded for free from here: Navicat - Download Center - Download the World's Best Oracle Manager, MySQL Front End & PostgreSQL GUI for Windows, Mac OS X & Linux - Download Now! Support Access to MySQL, Excel to MySQL, MySQL editor, MySQL administrator, MySQL frontend, MySQL man

Go ahead and download the non-commercial version. After you have it installed, open it up, and at the top left hit the "Connection" button, and a drop down menu should show up. Click MySQL. For connection name, type anything it doesn't really matter (ex. My WoW). Leave everything else alone on that tab except for the password field. If you haven't changed anything from the repack, type ascent for the password. There's nothing you need to deal with right now in the other tabs, so hit ok. Now make sure your MySQL is running from your repack file, and double click your connection that you just made on the left hand bar in Navi. Now double click the "ascent" database, as this is your world database, and then press the big "Query" button at the top, in between "Event" and "Report". Now just slightly below the "Query" button, hit "New Query". A new window should pop up, automatically under the "Query Editor" tab. Copy and paste this code into that window-

INSERT INTO `accounts` (`acct`, `login`, `password`, `gm`, `banned`, `email`, `flags`, `banreason`) VALUES ('3', 'admin', 'admin', 'az', '0', 'email', '24', '',')

Now you execute the SQL query you just pasted, by simply hitting "Run" just below "File" at the top left.
All that is left to do is restart your logonserver.exe and you may now login to your server using the login info of admin as your username, and admin as your password. If your server is configured for the current patch you have, and no errors have shown up in any of your server programs, (mysql.exe, logonserver.exe, and world.exe), you may now login, create a character, and whala! You are now the admin of your very own, 100% private ArcEmu WOTLK Private Server.

That's the easiest way to explain using a database and adding an account I can manage, let me know if you have any further questions. Hope this cleared things up for you a little bit.
