go to your database and in the accounts table set your status to 250.

Then you can use the #gm on/off command to switch back and forth.

Once you have set your account status, you can use the #flag command in game to set other accounts.

Is that the database.cpp file if so what do I change?

bool Database::SetAccountStatus(const char* name, sint16 status) {
char errbuf[MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE];
char *query = 0;
int32 affected_rows = 0;

cout << "Account being GM Flagged:" << name << ", Level: " << (sint16) status << endl;
if (!RunQuery(query, MakeAnyLenString(&query, "UPDATE account SET status=%i WHERE name='%s';", status, name), errbuf, 0, &affected_rows)) {
safe_delete_array(query);
return false;
}
safe_delete_array(query);

if (affected_rows == 0) {
cout << "Account: " << name << " does not exist, therefore it cannot be flagged\n";
return false;
}

return true;
}

Based on your questions seridium, it is clear you have no idea what you're doing. I would highly recommend you use a package installer to setup your first server until you get the hang of what's going on.
