How to re-admin an admin character?

[krilton]

Doubtful if this is even possible but I was tinkering around with an alternate game that I use to test mod, mainly to figure out how they work, and I was having issues with dismantling vehicles. The mods are "Vehicle Recycling" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2289429759 and "Vehicle Salvage" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1424059402. Anyway, on the main game when I would go to dismantle or salvage... i would get an error message stating that "admin needed to complete" or something to that extent. Never thought anything about it, well just now I was having a problem where "dismantle vehicle" was red but I had the torch and welder mask to do the job. So i decided to do a test with my "test" game. So i had spawned the 2 torches and the mask, then a vehicle and a burnt vehicle. Dismantle was red but I could salvage, so I did and it went about like it should have but in the text box it had "user access admin" then when completed it, i noticed that "red admin" was gone and only had admin (being the name). So now my question is, how do I restore this? 

 

Now also, this test game is run under this same account as the main game.

Disregard, I just thought about deleting the server named file in the DB folder. Everything resolved.

What exactly does that "C:\Users\<user>\Zomboid\db" file do, if anyone knows?

It keeps credential info on players, such as their access levels, usernames, passwords, bans and so on.
