Can't see my Admin panel on phpBB

My problem is that whenever I go to the Admin section of my phpbb message board, I get redirected to the forum index. As a result I can't do any admin stuff so please help! I'm not sure how it happened, but here's my story:

I recently bought www.grungeforum.com and had it moved over to my server. Then I went into the Admin section to turn the board back on (had turned it off for the move). Then I made cosmetic changes to my overall header and footer.

Somehow I lost the link to "Go to administration panel" and when I try to go there directly via the URL I get redirected to the forum index

 

Have you removed a line of code with the {ADMIN_LINK} in? Something like:

<div align="center"><span class="copyright"><br />{ADMIN_LINK}<br />

 

Are you logging in with the main admin account?

 

That would be funny, trying to access the admin section under a member account.

 

This is what caused the problem. It seems you can't simply type board.com/admin into the browser...

 

what is the solution, to rewrite that line of code into overall_footer? i did the same mistake...darn..

 

^ similar to :

<div id="wrapfooter">
	<!-- IF U_ACP --><span class="gensmall">[ <a href="{U_ACP}">{L_ACP}</a> ]</span><br /><br /><!-- ENDIF -->

Code (markup):
