This bug has been reported before.  So far, I have been unable to
replicate it.  It's _possible_ you're getting this infinite loop because
of an incorrect bb-config.php setting.

It should read:
$bb->domain = 'http://forums.example.com';
$bb->path   = '/cheese/';

That is, no trailing slash in the domain, leading and trailing slashes in
the path, and NO PATH iformation at all in the domain setting.

The following WILL NOT WORK
$bb->domain = 'http://forums.example.com/cheese';
$bb->path   = '/';

If your settings are correct, please follow the advice on
http://bbpress.automattic.com/ticket/105#change_0 where the redirect code
is at line ~1200 instead of 1112, and reply back with your var_dump
output.

PS: That is the correct procedure for changing your user_type:  add a
usermeta: $user_id, $table_prefix . 'user_type', 5
Where $table_prefix = 'bb_' by default.

After you have one admin, you should be able to log in as that admin and
change other users' user_types by visiting and editing their profile page.
