THIS IS CRAZY! An Administrator accidently Set the LOGIN PAGE TO ANOTHER PAGE!!!  under Page Management and now we don't have a way to login as a Super User or ADMIN...

Here is the detailed scoop

IN DNN 4.7 Something VERY Bizarre has happened under the
Admin>Advanced Settings>Page Management> LOGIN PAGE:
The Drop Down got set to one of the TAB IDs that does NOT have a Login Module... SO NOW WHEN THE ADMIN OR Super User tries to LOGIN it goes or loops to a DNN WEB PAGE that does not have a login module added to it.

So when the user called me to say that they couldnt login, I thought they were crazy. You can't do that in DNN
But when i took a look for myself... I had to walk a way in dis-belief.

CAN YOU SAY HOLY LOOPING LOGIN BATMAN!!!

SO NOW WE'RE STUCK IN THIS ENDLESS LOOP!!!!!!!!!! NO WAY TO LOGIN TO THE SITE!!!
Is there a way to find the PAGE MANAGEMENT SETTINGS somewhere in the Database and reset the "LOGIN PAGE" back to or NULL?
All i know is that the TAB ID page was accidentally set to an existing page with the TAB ID of 82 and as mentioned, TAB ID 82 was a new page where the login module had not been added yet.

So basically we have no way to LOGIN to the DNN WEB SITE!!!!
We Click LOGIN and it just goes to TAB ID 82.

Can someone please tell me how via the DATABASE or where ever we can set PAGE MANAGEMENT SETTINGS back to
We can't believe it was that simple for an ADMIN to Lock themselves out of DotNetNuke just by mistakenly setting the login page to another page. There should be some warning.

HOW DO WE GET THE ORIGINAL LOGIN PAGE BACK?

All I can say is you are not the first, and you will surely not be the last to lock yourself out.

Here's a little something I cooked up for this problem.
