You aren't logged in as a manager apparently. Assuming you are using
2.3.0, reset your admin password by cd'ing to your zope directory and
executing this:

python zpasswd.py -u admin -p password access

Substitute whatever password you want. Then close down your browser (all
windows) and go to http://localhost:8080/manage. Login as admin with
whatever password you chose. Next go the the acl_users folder and add
user for yourself with the manager role. Then log out (either close all
your browser windows or use the logout command in the top frame) and
login as the new user. You should be in business.
