Admin on Ubuntu

Trying to run the Futon test suite on Ubuntu 11.10 with built-in
CouchDB 1.0.1 gives error

    "You need to be an admin to run the tests."

Any advice? Should I build latest CouchDB from source?

You need to login as and admin user. The link is in the bottom right
corner. Then try again and it will ask you to remove all admin users
(needed to run the tests). Click on "Remove Admins" and it should
work.

If you don't know the admin username and password, you need to remove
it manually from the [admins] section in /etc/couchdb/local.ini

It depends on what you want to do.
