Solution
Check the URL to make sure it looks like this (where x.x.x.x represents your IDM server's IP address):
http://x.x.x.x/admin/index.php
This generally happens if you just type the IDM's IP address on the browser and hit enter. The browser will be redirected to the Sponsor login page: http://x.x.x.x/sponsor/index.php. Obviously, if you try to login as admin on this page you'll be rejected.
