[bbDev] setting admin user

[Michael D Adams]

The warnings I think I've doused ( http://bbpress.automattic.com/ 
changeset/261 ).  You weren't able to get an admin account because  
the upgrade script is only that: it expects some previous data from  
which to upgrade.

The new install script ought to work.  You'll have to drop all your  
tables first, though.
