Leopard Stages Bloodless Coup, Erases My Administor Privileges

I'm not sure when it happened, but about a week after my Leopard install I noticed that my account had been reclassified as Standard and that I was no longer able to manage my Mac fiefdom as was my wont. Help was only a Google away and I found that others had suffered the same unjust fall from grace. Apple support offered this fix via the Reset Password utility on the installation disk, but I used this method from MacFixIt Forums. It uses the command line in single-user mode and restored me to supremacy in a couple of minutes.
