Title: deleted main admin Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # deleted main admin * [sickwit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sickwit/) * (@sickwit) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-main-admin/) * I accidentally deleted my main admin that comes with the username of admin. I need help on how to create a new admin with the exact same powers. I have another admin thats a level 10 but there are a few options that this admin cannot do that the my original main admin could. How can i fix this? Please reply, i have noticed that the support for wordpress sites is really low and hope to get help ASAP!

Okay i also understand that the admin account i used to delete my original admin account has to be the same level. It is. With this said the current admin account i have does not have all the options my original admin account had (the one created with wordpress). The things i cannot do that i need to do is, be able to make it so people cannot comment on pages or posts (any page i create now it can be commented on, with my old admin account i could turn this off for that page under the edit page area for that page). I cannot turn it off at all now, for the advertisment i could turn it off per page in the same location, i cannot now. * Please help me i am begging, i really need help.
