Hello if you are getting a message stating "You are not authorised to administer this board"

Find the following file
/modules/Forums/admin/pagestart.php

find the row that looks kinda similar to whats below (there won't be an extract statement)
It will be about line 75-77 or so.
Replace it with EXACTLY whats below.

extract($row);
if ($radminsuper != 1 && $radminforum != 1) {
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, "You are not authorised to administer this board");
}

Then just save and exit.

If that solves your problem great! go away, if not read on.

Using phpMyAdmin or some other such sort of program, get into your DB and go to the table

nuke_authors

Then set radminforum = 1 on the row of the Admin you are trying to help out here.

Also while your in here you may want to go to the nuke_bbconfig table, and change your settings to taste (I got sick of it calling StarvingCoders.com , mysite.com all the time)

Wham bam, thank you mam! Your done!
