    Not sure with out looking at what you have in front of you but with some custom scripts do the same with all i do is browse the root admin in MyPHPadmin , copy every detail of that account into a new entry and then change the username and password.

    I assume that IPB is MD5 passwords so dont forget to set the password to MD5 before saving it.

    If it doesnt work then you can delete that entry

    You can not just simply add a new admin user to IPB only via Phpmyadmin.It is possible but it is a long query to programm.The hash etc has to fit to the other things as well.Why don't you just use your ipb board to add a new user ?
