OK ... I admit it was stupid ... I went into Security
feature, and removed Admin from "Admin" group. (for some
reason I can't currently remember, this seemed an
important thing to do - brain fade!)

Now I find myself unable to log into the database - it
doesn't pop up the "UserName // Password" screen, instead
it barks at me with the message "You do not have the
necessary permissions to use .....object. Have your
administrator establish the appropriate permissions for
you" ... but I am the administrator! I should be able to
log in with cprakke ... but as I said I can't even get
that far.

Holding down the shift key while hitting Enter gives me
the same error message.

So now that I'm completely frustrated and embarassed ...
is there any way to undo my stupid move?

I have made too many updates/upgrades to the database to
just go back to last weeks' version.

Any/all assistance deeply appreciated.

Not sure what stroke of brilliance now triggered me to
change the password for the admin, but I did, and logged
in as cprakke, and it's all back.

Chalk one up for experience ... and yes, I've bookmarked
the link to database securities ...

Thanks for your forbearance, and I hope everyone got a
good chuckle. :)
