Admin help, please!

I don't even know how to go about explaining this one, but I'll do my best.

I set up a private forum on my site that is viewable only by 2 different user groups. I wanted to make sure it was viewable by both groups, so in all my brilliance changed my primary usergroup from Administrator to the one user group. See where this is going??

I now cannot get back into the admin cp to change myself back. I had another admin try to change my settings, but she doesn't have the correct permissions to perform this action.

Is there any way to get myself back as the administrator of my site???

Thanks so much for any help you can provide & yes, I did take an extra dose of stupid pills this morning!

Well I guess how I respond to this depends on what forum your user belongs to.

Like I would suggest if you are using vbulletin you could use phpmyadmin in your webhosting contorl panel and maybe do a query like this

UPDATE user SET usergroupid=6 WHERE userid=1

Replace of course with your forum userid and if your vb tables have a prefix then add that to the table name.
