Also, if you now have the LDAP plugin enabled, you either need to disable it until you promote a user who is in LDAP, or turn on $wgLDAPUseLocal until you do so.

Not the same account. The credentials specified in LocalSettings.php are used when connecting to the database. You need to log in with the administrator username and password provided during installation.
If you've forgotten the username, you may be able to recover it from Special:Listusers. If you've lost the password, Google for "MediaWiki password hash" and see what turns up in the way of help on resetting it. There's also a maintenance script to reset passwords, IIRC.
