Mind another question? Of course not. But I don't have an answer 
unfortunately... this is my area of "exploration", not expertise.

When I followed that tutorial I mentioned, I was able to get the admin 
pages. But then I have yet to reach completion of the tutorial, so 
perhaps I've not experienced the step that wipes out that access.

Your question will probably be answered fastest/best over on 
eclipse.webtools... I think that's WTP's newsgroup.
