If you want to be the official board owner admin, find the original owner somehow and ask him to give you the account. If you're able to find him and have him do so, follow these steps: 1) Announce the account change to the board so the members aren't confused. 2) Tell him to remove any sensitive information, such as e-mail address. 3) Tell him to change password to something that you can remember but isn't used anywhere else for him. Then get the password using a secure method, such as PM, and then change the password again when you get the account. Member #1 is the one that can delete the board and change the default board URL, and no one else can edit it. You should be able to do everything else even if you don't have this account.
