if he is finding it hard to use the tools.php i would suggest doing it this way serveral times ive done it and ive had no trouble at all with it
another option would be to make another user (if possible) in phpmyadmin choose the foru database and select the user click browse and change the user's rank/perms. also another way on your file manager find the file called config.php (whatever folder your forum root is/includes/(find config.php in this folder) and the new user id that you have just made if you get the user's id number find inside the config file the super administrator's part and enter the number with a "," after the number that is already thier (e.g.1,2). then refresh and you should be admin once again then just change your passwor on the other account (preferbly something u remeber) and then your rolline but i would suggest deleting the user id keep that password written down (off of you computer try a peice of paper !) just incase this happens once again.
Hope it helps
