Thanks everyone for your quick replies.

For some reason the installation procedure did not register the
administrator "admin", and although the administrator "server_console"
was registered, it would not allow me to log in with that account. The
only way around it was to do as Gerrit suggested, after which I was
able to correct the problem.

Thanks Gerrit!
