The answers are in the archive (I know because I keep answering them).

Yes.  So add some users.

INSERT INTO horde_users (user_uid, user_pass) VALUES ('admin',
'21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3');

which will create a user "admin" with a password "admin".  More generically
you could use:

INSERT INTO horde_users (user_uid, user_pass) VALUES ('admin', md5('admin');

The password is the md5() hash of the plain text version.

There are no admin users or options in your version of Horde.

No.  Add them via sql or any other convenient means.

No.  Your version of Horde has no admin interface.

> Horde: 2.2.3

A version without admin support.
