Who is the administrator

My latest problem is that my Mac has stopped recognizing me as an administrator.  It used to have the name already filled in the administrator permission box and I just filled in the password.  Now it wants both and won’t accept my name and password as correct.  I tried changing the password after booting up with the leopard installation disk, but it didn’t work.  Basically all administrative functions are locked and I can’t get in.  Under accounts, it lists all accounts as “standard.”

Found the purported answer on the Apple web site.  I will try it tonight.  Apparently this is a Leopard upgrade issue.
