admin dashboard problem – often only shows normal user dashboard

I go to mysite.com/wp-admin, login with the admin username and password and sometimes (often) I get the normal user dashboard with Posts,Media,Comments,Profile,Tools down the left hand side. Not the one which allows me to do all the admin stuff.
I logout and log back in using wp-admin address and the same screen appears, not the admin dashboard.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can sort this one out please?

OK, I have sorted it out.

The bp-capabilities value somehow had got changed to author rather than administrator.

I edited the bp-capabilities item for user_id 1 in bp_usermeta table to be
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
and logged in again and everything was fine.

If you have multisite, you may need this thread which I used to find the place to start looking for the solution.
I tried their bp_settings and it gave me a ‘you are not authorised to view this page’ message, so I used my value above for my non-multisite installation.

Hope that helps someone else.
