Go to your component menu on your main admin tool bar and then scroll down until you see the Joomla-SMF Forum menu item

The above was for the J!SMF bridge -- to admin the forums themselves you'll see an admin link in your forum tool bar.

Hope this helps

Ok I resolved this somewhat  not great but somewhat.
What i have come to relize is that the bridge does not use the
super administrator account as the admin account for the Forum
So when you set the Forum up you had to add a admin account to the setup
Though this didnt work actually to try and login under that.
What did work was that i also have another script modded into mambo which was the account i used to login to the SMF as admin
Though if you try to login using the Super Administrator accont from  mambo
It will list you as a Administrator but it will treat you as a Regular User.
Some bug or something is stopping the actual bridge of the accounts to be 100% successfull.
So my suggestion is this check your database for users that you have listed in the user table one of those more likely of the ones you created should allowyou to login as the actual SMF administrator
