You've probably either disabled the Navigation block or the admin menu item in 
admin/menu (or both).

If you want just the admin menu available when only the administrator is 
logged in, try creating a new menu, making the administer menu part of the 
new menu and disabling it (or checking the expanded box). Go to admin/block 
and enable your new menu block. Lastly, configure the block by setting the 
Page specific visibility settings to the PHP option (#3) and put the 
following in the box underneath:
<?php
  global $user;
  return $user->uid == 1 ? TRUE : FALSE;
?>

Than you'll have a new block that will only show for your administrative user 
that will look something like this:

Administration
 access control
 aggregator
 blocks
 categories
 comments
 contact form
 content
 input formats
 logs
 menus
 modules
 settings
 themes
 url aliases
 users
