Still not a good idea.
He needs to logout. Then you login to an administrator account,
open System
Preferences, Accounts tab, and select his account. Check the box for admin.

Actually I'll disagree with Dan here; it works perfectly well to do
this while the user is logged in; you have to use the credentials of
an current administrator to do so, of course, but once you've done
this they can do anything they want. No need to log out or any such
stuff...it's not Windows, after all
hum. Just tried it in Tiger - no go - had to log out and back in to
get the admin to stick. Perhaps this working dynamically is Leo+?
