You can fix this by using the "createsuperuser" management command:

rb-site manage /path/to/site createsuperuser

This should then prompt you for username/email/password to create a new admin

You need to use the site directory, not the URL. Should be something like /var/www/myreviewboard or whatever you called it when you installed.
