The admin user is created during the install process using the username/password as entered during installation.

You can make yourself a Super-Admin by addin your user-id to the config.php fil.

thanks..whre i could find config.php?and can you assist on it where i should add it there....

[Marco van Herwaarden]

./includes/config.php

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,2,3';

Replace 1,2,3 with the userid's of your Super Admins.

You can set access to the logfiles also in the config.php.

( can u please guide me again?in which in there

[Marco van Herwaarden]

PHP Code:

 // ****** USERS WITH ADMIN LOG VIEWING PERMISSIONS ******
 // The users specified here will be allowed to view the admin log in the control panel.
 // Users must be specified by *ID number* here. To obtain a user's ID number,
 // view their profile via the control panel. If this is a new installation, leave
 // the first user created will have a user ID of 1. Seperate each userid with a comma.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canviewadminlog'] = '1'; 


There you can set who can view the logs.

PS You only to need to read the descriptions in the config.php file to know what the purpose of these settings are.

More info also in the manual: Editing the vBulletin Configuration File
