You cannot make yourself an admin in the admin section of WordPress. That would be a privilege escalation – and a serious security issue.
You have only two options:
-
Get FTP access, and either create an admin user per PHP, or just export the site to another host.
-
Try a content scraping program and get the content this way exported. Then move to another host.
