Server 6 Admin rights

I have inherited the RH 6 development site here at work. The original team was let go and I am the only one left. I have access to the server to work the project I created but no admin privledges. Im being told to set up a new member to the team but I can't since I don't have full admin privleges on the server. I know this vilotaes the purpose for controlliing admin privledges butis there a way to hack around so that I can be the admin, short of reinstallinig the server RH6 server software. I have 5 years worth of projects at risk here.

Oh yea, they (management) also let maintenance laps so I'm screwed there too.

any suggestions short of finding a new job ( hey I really do think this is the best option!)

Thank you
