bbPress: Manually configure a Key Master role

If at any time your account reverts back to a regular member account (effectively locking you out of the admin control panel), don’t fret! You can manually configure it back to a Key Master role in phpMyAdmin:

1. Look-up your user_ID in your user table (bb_users or wp_users*)
2. Search for this ID in the umeta_id column of the usermeta table (bb_usermeta or wp_usermeta*)
3. Set the meta_value to a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

*I included the wp_ tables in case you were using the WordPress user tables instead.
