Description of my issue:
Nicholas, following up on my support ticket of yesterday, I would still like to know how to change the Super User ID number from (in my case) 171 to 42. I did a "quickstart" installation of a template based on Joomla 2.5.6 which as you said randomly selects the ID number. But the template uses K2, and one of the quickstart menu items is "K2 Category Blog" which gives me a bright red error message at the top of the page:
"JUser: :_load: Unable to load user with ID: 42"

So I want to be able to change the ID to 42 to get this to work, and then this menu feature should work and I think it should continue to work when I use Admin Tools to change it to something else. I really don't want to have to install an older version of Joomla that sets the ID to 42 and go through trying to install the quickstart content over it and go through all of the upgrades and reinstallation of other things.

Never mind. I downloaded K2 and reinstalled it over the existing one, which fixed the super admin ID number problem.

It sounds like the real problem was with your quickstart content which had the created_by field set to 42. Normally it would suffice editing the database and fixing the created_by field of the quickstart content. Just my two cents :)
