   long story how I got to this point, but the bottom line is this:

   1) I need to create an admin user through phpmyadmin
   2) I did, set user level to 10, and the wp_capabilites to a:1:{s:10:"administrator";b:1;}

   but it didn't work. the admin only has permission to *log in* and that's all. what do I need to do to get this account acting as admin? it looks right to me...thanks!

   You haven't tried creating/changing this user account through the WP Admin "User" section?

   Users have "data" in the wp_users and wp_usermeta table. Did you edit both?

   I just checked a few installs of mine...
   while the wp_uswer_level is 10, the other line always looks like:
   a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
