    Hi, changed name and ID admin, this does not work.
    Tested as a guide, 

    I changed something and now I can no longer access the menu editor. Is there a way to get it back?
You can reset the menu configuration back to the default by going to: http://your-site-here.com/wp-admin/?reset_admin_menu=1
You must be logged in as an administrator for this to work.

    it does not work yet.

    How can I reset?

    Please help, thank you

    The reset link would only reset the admin menu configuration, not the “who can access this plugin” setting that’s in the “Settings” tab. To reset that one, you’ll need to do one of the following:

    • Uninstall and reinstall the plugin. This will reset all AME settings.
    • Delete the ws_menu_editor entry from the wp_sitemeta and/or wp_options table. This will reset the admin menu and most of the settings in the “Settings” tab.
    • Manually edit the value of the ws_menu_editor entry and change the plugin_access item to manage_options. This is the most complicated option because it requires familiarity with PHP’s serialization format, but it would let you regain access to the plugin without losing your settings.
