Well, you’ll probably need the help of your web host. You or they can use phpmyadmin to manually edit the wordpress database tables. This must be done very carefully.
There is a table called wp_usemeta. In it, there is a setting for your admin user’s priviledges. You’ll find a field that contains something like “a:1:{s:6:”author”;b:1;}”, and you want to change it to be “a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}”. (not including the quotes).
Back up the mysql database first beforehand in case it’s further broken. Considering your level of comfort, I would ask your web host if they can make this change for you.
