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
