I just installed wikipedia on my webserver and can't for the life of me figure out how to log in as an admin. I downloaded the latest version from CVS.
Thanks, Carl Youngblood

First, create a user account through the login page. Then, you'll have to access the database directly with mysql and give yourself sysop privileges:
UPDATE user SET user_rights='sysop,developer' WHERE user_name='Yourname';
That should do it.
