Fixing permissions after an upgrade

I have recently upgraded site to Drupal 4.7. After the upgrade I have noticed that the users with so-called "Site Administrator" roles do not seem to have the same permission levels as previously. After some investigation, I discovered there is no "User 1" at all so I dont' know how I can go about putting things right.
A number of issues have arisen because of this problem but I am sure that once I can figure out how to add a new "superuser" type user, I can proceed from there to fix things up.

Added "User 1"; still cannot get rid of Welcome Page
I have successfully added a "User 1". This user has all administrative rights.
Unfortunately, anonymous users still see the Welcome Page. I have set access rights so that an anonymous user may access the node module content. I have created new content and promoted it to the front page.
Is there anything else I need to do?
