Hi Bugz,
If you can't access the ACP (try going to yourforum.com/admin/), then the only way you can get back is by manually editing the database.
First of all, login into phpmyadmin and find your MyBB database. Then, go to the mybb_usergroups table, and find the gid for the Administrators group (it is more than likely to be 4).
Then, go to the mybb_users group, find your account and change the usergroup column to that number.

^ no, you can select mybb_users at the left side column (or just the database at the left side) and SQL tab at the right
if you are confused then please see the referred guidance
