    Hi Daniel ,

    Hope you're doing well today!

    Seems that you lost the "super admin" privileges. Not sure why that happened, I made some tests in this "Defender" feature, but I was unable to replicate.

    There is some methods to give an user the "Super Admin" privileges, if you are the only "super admin" user in your network, I would like to suggest to try via MySQL.

    1) Firstly, please, make a backup of your database, just to make sure you stay in the safe side;

    2) Go to the "wp_sitemeta" table ("wp" is the default prefix, maybe you already changed it in Defender) and search for the "site_admins" meta_key;

    3) You changed your username to "administrator", so, in the meta_value field add this code:

    a:1:{i:0;s:13:"administrator";}

    4) Refresh your admin panel and then, you should be able to access to the network admin panel.

    If you don't feel confortable in doing this, can you send me the WP admin and MySQL access?
