Drupal6 on Lenny:Access Denied error

[John W Foster <jfoster81747@gmail.com>]

I got drupal installed and it seems to be working though the
installation took a lot of effort to get it working since there are not
any "debian" instructions that tell you exactly what to do. Now the
issue is that having set up the admin user and being able to log in as
that user, I can NOT get to the admin page to finish the installation.

http://localhost/drupal6/?q=admin

It gives the error message;
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page. 

Any help would be appreciated!!
