If you have access to your database, change the Email address which is shown to one which does work.  Then request a reset of the Admin account password.

I did exactly this a few day ago on a test site I was playing with. I had so many accounts and had forgotten the admin one.  Changed the admin email addresses, requested it be sent to me, logged in and changed it to what I wanted.

QED

Is your forum setup to send Emails ... and do they work?

Have you tried the other Idea of creating a new Admin account?

on your forum create a new account. suppose you type the passwword xyz. go to the db tblauthor and see the encrypteed password in front of the userid u just created.
then, the encrypted pass = xyz , u know
now copy that encypted pass and replace the pass in the administrator's id

You will also need to copy across the salt value.

I had problems with this method. I tried all combinations and copied the encrypted pass and salt for the old admin name. Nothing worked.

I then installed a new forum in another folder, logged in to it, then took that name, encrypted pass, and salt, and pasted it into the old forum and it worked right away.

Very odd that it wouldn't accept the old one that way.
