It actually took him a lot less than an hour, we distracted the fuck out of him, in ACP there is an option to re-add a user. I re-added Michael within 2 minutes, and then re-deleted him. :x
I was going to edit the database earlier, but after reading up on the pros and cons of it, it sounds like we'd have many more corruptions & errors if I tried swapping uID's all over.
So, sorry for the confusion and lets get back on with our lives.
