The place to enabled/disable registrations would be ACP(Admin Control Panel) -> Configuration -> Login and Registration -> "Disabled Registrations Yes or No?"

As for getting yourself back in admin (head of operations) I am not too sure, if you have full access to your web files I suggest trying to add yourself via SQL maybe? I'm a novice so I could be way off on that.
Normally if you were removed from Administrator you could simply run the following query
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET usergroup = '4' WHERE uid = 'youruid (probably 1)';
or, what I do is go to PhpMyAdmin, visit the users table, and set uid 1 (me), to groupid 4 (administrator default).
However, this is if you have a separate host. You are using icyboards (not a good idea), they are annoying where you can’t access anything like PhpMyAdmin. They only give you access to FTP, however, sql tables are not stored on the FTP servers. Your only choice is to send icyboards a support ticket asking them to make your profile Administrator again.
For your other issue, please follow what the guy on top of me said to do.
Hope I helped.
This sounds like an IcyBoards specific issue, we can't support IcyBoards here due to the way the forums are set up, you'll need to contact their support.
