If you add entries to your user_groups table for yourself as bureaucrat and sysop, \
that should do the trick.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

Hello,

I am new to MediaWiki and couldn't find the answer to my problem in the docs. Maybe I \
was just blind but I hope someone here can help me.

I have to manage a MediaWiki installation that has already bin in place for a while. 
I have to add an user with admin rights, for example to change the navigation on the \
very left. Currently there seems to be no admin user (or sysop). 
I have root access to the file system and the MySQL db. 
In the user table there is only one entry for myself and in the user_groups, there \
are no entries at all.

Is there a way to add a user with all admin rights without doing a new installation? \
There is a lot of content in the wiki already.

any help very welcome!

Claus
