  Pmciano,
  Thanks for the reply.
  I’m confident this must mean I have forgotten the user account I used to create and administer the site. I’m also confident that no other person would have been given exclusive admin rights to the site. Evidently for some now forgotten reason I must have created myself an additional account without admin capabilities.
  Is it possible please for you to tell me the account which does have the admin capabilities?
  Thanks.
