Only sysops can make new sysops (using Special:Userrights), so if
you've lost the password to the sysop account you created at
installation, you are stuck. If you have email set up, you can just
ask mediawiki to email you a new password. If not, you will have to
edit the database manually, or reinstall.

Use Special:Specialpages ;)
