I think things have gotten a little muddled in here. 🙂

To create an admin in the manner the OP is suggesting is as simple as signing up a user in the regular fashion, activating their email manually from their user page (if you need to?), and granting admin powers at the same time. You can also temporarily disable `reserved usernames` if you want to use one of them when you sign them up. 👍

I create test users all the time, and it’s very quick and easy.

(and the plus address email trick @maiki suggested comes in useful too, or you can set up aliases if you have a domain inbox that supports that)
