Question

The sole admin for our system left the company and we can't get his login info. Now, we can't access any of the admin functions! How can I add an Admin to the system?

you will need file level access to the topic data or to the .htpasswd file. (assuming that you are using HtPassword based auth)

you can edit the twiki/data/Main/TWikiAdminGroup.txt file and replace the old admin's user name with your own in the GROUP setting, or you could use the htpasswd command to set the passowrd for the admin user's account from the command line (the .htpasswd file/s are in the twiki/data dir)
