Well, if you were able to go to Configuration, you were essentially in Admin Party mode, no? In that case, there is a 'Set up admin use' link in the bottom right corner in Futon that does the same.
I would've expected that you're not able to edit Configuration unless you're logged in as admin. Glad to hear that it did solve your problem!
