 * Hi!
    I’d deactivated admin profile by chance, and I don’t know what to do now.
   How can I log in to my profile or cancel changes?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdeactivated-admin-profile%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hmmm… that’s the first time I’ve heard of that happening.
 * You should have direct db access through your hosting setup. Use that to update
   the user meta value “active” to “1” (for your specific user ID).
 * `UPDATE wp_usermeta SET meta_value = 1 WHERE meta_key = "active" AND user_id 
   = 123;`
 * (Where “123” in the example is the user id you’re trying change) If you don’t
   know the specific user ID, you can look that up in the wp_users table.
