[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki installed, but I don't seem to have an administrator account

[Nomad of Norad (David C Hall)]

Well, I finally got my MediaWiki up and running, and I have set it to 
not allow anonymous edits.  However, I don't seem to have a user with 
Administrator rights.  The system had prompted me to create the Admin 
user WikiSysop, with appropriate password, when I went to the original 
config page, but no such user exists on the resulting wiki.  I have now 
created a regular account for myself, and as I have said, have now 
changed the LocalSettings.php to deny anonymous edits.

How do I give myself admin capabilities on the site, now?  Is it 
something I must insert into the LocalSettings.php?

Once that is taken care of, one of the other things I want to do is set 
it up so people can sign up (create an account for themselves) but 
cannot edit pages or create new ones until I enable them to.  That is, I 
want to set things up so I have to select which users can edit, rather 
than them being able to edit just by having created an account.

But first things first, I guess...
