This is the kind of information that can really help! Thank you.
Looks like I have to reinstall mediawiki. It is fine because I have not been able to do much yet. But, are we saying there is no way to create an ID in sysop group after the installation?
Also, everytime I ask a question, someone feed me one spoon of "using Special:Xxxx". It is like magic! Where do you guys hide your secret book? Can I get one to hide too? :))

Subject Re: [Mediawiki-l] How to copy a page?
When you installed MediaWiki, you created a sysop user, default name WikiSysop (unless you changed it). It's a required part of the web-based installation.
Hit your wiki page Special:Listusers to see all the usernames on your wiki. The sysop user should be marked as a sysop.
If you don't remember the password, I imagine you could use mySQL directly to remove that user's password, then log in and change it. Or at worst, run the MediaWiki installation again (which should not affect your existing database).
