No shit, that's why I pointed out that the db editor should be able to set a
 wizard bit!  I'm of the opinion that those are the only two things you should
 be messing with the db file with other than through the server.

This is not necessary.  co #2 <password> will work just fine.  The wizard
 then can, once logging in, can then @untoad 'emself.  How else do people
 login while the $player_db is being reloaded?  Of course, if you don't know
 the archwizard's object number.... :)
