What version of WordPress you are using?


This problem is reported frequently in the forums.  Note that Trac Ticket 
7027 has a patch that may stop this from happening.

In the meantime try this:
1.Create new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
2.Login as 'newadmin'
3.Degrade the old 'admin' user to Role of Subscriber and Save
4.Promote the old 'admin' back to Administrator Role and Save
5.Login as the old 'admin'

If that doesn't work try:
1.Create a new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
2.Login as 'newadmin'
3.Delete the old 'admin' user and assign any posts to 'newadmin'
4. Create 'admin' user with Administrator Role
5. Login as 'admin'
6. Delete 'newadmin' user and assign posts to 'admin'
