I used the new Super Administrator ID feature and changed the super administrator id. Now I can't edit through the backend using Community Builder or I'm not able to login the frontend as a super admin. When I try to edit the Super Admin in CB is gives a popup "You cannot edit a 'super administrator'. Only higher-level users have this power. Any suggestions?

This was apparently a CB issue I didn't notice until I made the super admin id change. Several patches are located: http://tinyurl.com/2vaqdps

As a side note, if you have login issues after changing your Super Administrator ID you might also have to clear your browser cache and delete all cookies pertaining to your site's domain name. Then close all browser windows and re-launch it. Sometimes your browser is caching the wrong credentials and won't allow you to login with the changed (essentially new) account.
Of course, in your case it was a CB bug, but the above notice is valid for lots of cases with "stuck" logins.
