I ran into this after upgrading to F12 from F10 (clean install). I
scoured the internet for hours over a couple of days before I finally
figured out that I had not set the admin user in config.pl. Setting up
the apache portion just handles web security, you still have to set
what user(s) get admin access to BackupPC separately.

I hope this is all that's wrong with yours! Good luck.
