    Default Locked out of permissions

    Hi,

    I am a complete newbie when it comes to cPanel and as such, while having a look at the "Change Permissions" tab in "File Manager" managed to change the permissions and lock myself out of my own site.

    Now, when I go into File Manager, the Download, Delete, Rename, Edit, Code Editor, HTML Editor, Change Permissions, View, Extract and Compress icons are all greyed out.

    How can I change the permissions back to what they were and regain access to my site if I no longer have access to the Change Permissions icon?

    Thanks for taking the time to look at this and let me know if you need any other info

    Not sure how you managed that. You need to ask your host to correct the permissions. This should take seconds for them.
    1 solution works for all problems. Trying harder!
