I just ran into this problem! The fix for me was to run

python manage.py migrate

For some reason (and undocumented in the help files) running that command without 'askbot' added additional tables/content that were needed to fully access and use the "admin" and "settings" pages.

I did have to go through the steps on the 'initialize database' page from the install docs a couple of times before things finally started working (and each time, I dropped/re-added my database to start "fresh").

Hopefully that works for you!
