If login works normally, what do you see next to your name after you log in?

Welcome, ChrisHajer! View your profile (Admin | Log Out)

or

Welcome, ChrisHajer! | Log Out

In the first case, I am keymaster and have admin access. In the second case, I am just a member and have no admin access. I you have the first, click on Admin and you will have access to the bbPress back end.

If you have the second, the account you’re logging in with might not have keymaster access. There was a plugin to restore keymaster access, but it was good only for up to 0.9. Not sure if it works with 1.0.

If it doesn’t work, then you will need to edit the permissions directly in the database.
