In order to create an admin character you should login as root using a
password of foo.bar.  Then login as whatever character you wish to be an
admin (suppose this character is named 'wisdom'.  From the root character
type:

so wisdom admin

Then, as wisdom, you should quit and log back in.

Now, as root, type:

position wisdom Admin
promote wisdom 999

Now, as wisdom, type:

save

Now, logout of the mud with the 'root' character and remove the data
files associated with this character (if you don't do so, you'll leave
a security whole since the password foo.bar is known).  You should
delete the files ./data/users/r/root.o and ./data/obj/i/admin/root.o.
(Be sure to delete the files _after_ logging out or the mudlib will
recreate the files when you quit).
You will want to edit the /adm/etc/groups (and possible /adm/etc/access)
file to add yourself to the (admin) group.

Other available positions are "Maker" and "User".  promotion levels
range from 0 to 999.  Maker level 0 is higher than User level 999
and Admin level 0 is higher than Maker level 999.  Anytime the
position is changed, the promote command needs to be used again
(so that the actual level will be properly scaled).
