The e-maill address of the user should give you an idea of which one is the host.

The first account in the DB has no email, so i guessed it might be that one...I tried it but that wasn;t the right one.  There has to be a switch somehwere that identifies this account as having more access than the rest?

Look in the aspnet_Users table.  You'll see the Username and UserId side by side.  After identifying the host account's UserId you can do the steps Leupold outlines.

Yes,  There is a switch that identifies users as a superuser.  It can be toggled in the SQL tables.  I just go create a new user, jump into the tables and toggle it a superuser and then go back in and delete the old host account.  I'm not sure if that causes problems anywhere but it has worked so far for me.

I do not recommend the solution of wjfinnigang, because there are other attributes of a superuser, that don't match. Create a new user, in aspnet_membership table transfer pasword and paswordsalt from new user to existing host and delete new user afterwards makes sure, that you have a correctly set up host user!
