Omg I deleted my admin account, not sure how I did it... but I need help please!

[TechGuyAlabama]

I have command line access I just cannot get into the admin site.

How do I restore the account from the command line? I see several options I just not sure which I choose.

I found this, if this is what I need, but I'm not sure what I put in the date field:

zxsuite backup doUndelete {account} {"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"|first} {"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"|last} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

Is this the right procedure? How do I find the date of the restore I need?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi TechGuyAlabama,

the doUndelete command is intended to restore only deleted items from an existing account, so you need to use the "doRestoreOnNewAccount" CLI command:

zxsuite backup doRestoreOnNewAccount {source_account} {destination_account} {"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"|last}

So for your particular case:

zxsuite backup doRestoreOnNewAccount admin@yourdomain.com admin@yourdomain.com last

But i guess you can give the global admin privileges to another account with this command to get into the Administration Console:

zmprov ma another-user@yourdomain.com zimbraIsAdminAccount TRUE

Hope this helps.
