By default, a remote admin client will authenticate as root.  You may be
running the remote backup/restore client, this is one of the differences
between 3.4 and 4.5.

On the master server there is a host properties section with the master
listed.  Modify the "servers" tab of the properties and add the client
you are trying to remote admin from.  This will authenticate the client
to the master as root.  Make sure the master can resolve the hostname of
the client (I had to put an entry in /etc/hosts for my reserved dhcp
client).

You can also look into non-root user authentication and management in
the Admin Guide, pg 378 of the Unix Admin Guide.  Don't know about the
Windows guide.
