I had this same problem when I first started out a few months ago. :-) First off, you need to grant yourself sysop privileges. You need to do that manually in MySQL (I've been using phpMyAdmin), with the following string:
UPDATE user SET user_rights='sysop' WHERE user_name='My admin account';
And you replace "My Admin Account" with your own user name. After that, there should be a clear link on the quickbar that lets you "protect this page".
