Another Administrator
-
Is there a way to change the WordPress administrator or designate a second administrator or change a user to an administrator?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Yes. See the support page on user roles – administrator is a user role. Instructions for changing roles are toward the bottom.

The recommendation is for one and only one Administrator per blog. Warning: Please be very careful when adding a new Administrator user to your blog. Other Administrators are effectively co-owners. They have as much power over your blog as you do, including the ability to permanently delete it.
For more details please read:

Please note that you need to transfer the blog to another user if you want to change the blog owner’s user role to something other than an Administrator. -
An editor can do almost as much as an Admin and it is much safer – common to have someone show up in the forum with a tale of woe about the second Admin going rouge and trashing a blog.
