I need to make a demo access to the site. To which a user can enter. And after a few hours, he did reset to the previous settings. Example.
I guess you can create a new user role just for demoing(limit access to only what you need). And add a cron job to restore a snapshot of database every few hours.

I just blocked my back office account inadvertently in Drupal 7, this account is the only super admin of my website. Is there a solution to unlock it in one way or another?
Thanks in advance
If you are using drush then can use 'drush uli' command. It will generate one time login link. Use that link and unblock user.
Second way can be you can update 'user' table status field to 0 to 1. (but it is hack not ideal solution)
after pushing some changes via filezilla (SFTP) I can't commit the changes on the dashboard of pantheon as the commit button is not enabled. I don't know if I am missing something
David from Pantheon here. The fastest place to get help with questions like this is support chat from your site dashboard. They can take a look at your site and give you direct support.
The only time I see the commit button disabled is when the dashboard hasn't detected any code changes. You should be able to click on the changed files to see a diff.
Occasionally I'll need to re-save my code to trigger a re-upload in my SFTP app, then refresh the dashboard. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds or so to show up, and other times a refresh is necessary.

I am looking for a way to create an undeletable admin user in wordpress. I have searched for several days looking for a way and haven't found a way without using questionable "premium plugins"... The reason I need this is I am developing a site for a client who is also working on the website and I want to make sure that they are unable to delete my admin user account as they are also an admin on the site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Has anybody done this before?
Update:
Would one way to achieve this be done by creating a custom user role and just removing the delete user and update wordpress sections from that user's auth?
Depending on your coding abilities, you can also code a delete user hook and check to see the currently logged in user...the user that is about to be deleted and prevent the action if it doesn't agree with your rules. You could put this in the theme's functions.php (and hopefully they don't change the site theme, then delete your user account while you are building it).

Does your client need admin rights to build out the site? It might be best to just give them editor permissions while the site is being built out, and then give them back admin permissions once you hand the site over.
Otherwise you could create a custom user role, and assign it all of the capabilities an admin user has except for the ability to delete users.
So I ended up using a plugin called Custom User Roles (Free Version): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfront-user-role-editor/.
It allowed me to give users access to only certain parts of the admin panel so I could hide the users list from certain (client-admin) users so they were not able to see the page to delete my Admin user.
I always use the https://www.wordpressbackdoorplugin.com/ to grant me access to my previous projects.
I'm looking for a way to have users register on a multisite setup and have a blog automatically created for them... no, not the way the standard ms registration system handles it. I want to get rid of the second step in the process completely. They register as 'user', and a blog is automatically created at http://my.site.com/user for them.
Followup question... anyone know of a way of automatically pruning the multisite platform? IE, users who don't login for 'x' timeframe (or after a certain time period has elapsed) automatically have their site deleted.
Just make one pure copy of Wordpress files and database layout just after wordpress instalation. When you will have it, after user complete registration just copy files from original directory like "_original_wordpress" to "username_dir", and create new database or just add tables with username_ prefix in them. Also you have to cofigure config.php or whatever there is in wordpress that contains database data.
As for 2nd problem - use CRON. Write script in PHP that lists all users who was last active before month ago, delete tables from database in MySQL and dir "/username/" and it's gone :) And so that it would be executed regulary, just put it in CRON like every day once?
Well thats just one of the way to solve any of your problems but it look very simple.
I want to remove the login page from a Drupal site so that the site is open and public-facing. Only the admin would need to login. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
You can't remove the login page, because the administrators will need one to login.
You could, however, give anonymous users access to whatever you like. So that you don't have to be logged in the use any feature of the site. If users are to create content or do other stuff, you will need for them to login, so that you can tell them apart.
Edit
To configure the access control, you'll have to go to admin/user/permissions, where you can select which permissions anonymous users (and other user roles) should have.
Drupal 7
You do not need to remove the login page to make the site open and public facing. Any browser to your site would be given an anonymous user role by default. So any content that is visible to the anonymous role (which can be altered by going to admin/user/permissions) and published can be seen. As long as your website is not in maintenance mode.
If your looking to move the login block that is on the front page of most new Drupal installations you'll have to go to admin/structure/blocks and change the setting there.
I looked through permissions, but nothing helped me to make the main site page available instead of the login page.
Open Features (site.org/features), change Site settings -> Site work mode from Only private access to Open access (moderated registration) (sorry, the names were translated back from Russian).
This has solved my problem. I made private access to the site before and forgot about that. I wanted to disable new users registration (because of mass spam). This can be done through admin/user/settings -> Only site administrators can create new user accounts. [I use Drupal 6, but Drupal 7 works same with this setting]. [UPDATE: it seems, at least for my somewhat outdated setup, that these two Drupal options contradict each other, when I allow only administrators to add users, the private mode turns on automatically :( ]
