There is a script in horde/scripts/sql/script.initial_horde_user.sql which
will add a user to your newly configured sql authentication backend.
username: admin password: admin (which should be changed as soon as you get
logged in).

The reason you are not able to log in is probably due to the fact that you
have no users defined in your horde_users table (which is what this script
takes care of).

Also, in order for this user to be an admin, you should edit horde's
config.php and add 'admin' to the array of admin users to look something
like: $conf['auth']['admins'] = array('admin');

Hope that helps
