Are you signed in with an admin account?

You need to rename or remove the /install folder as per the instructions.

The ACP link is only present when logged in as Administrator

I don't have any problems with Brave (nor with other browsers): clear board and browser cache and try again.

No, it's a problem with a fresh install no matter the browser.
If you do a fresh install on let say chrome you won't be able to login using chrome when you first log out but if you use different browser to log in you will log in. Funny thing is after a while the chrome will log you in if you try. I don't know what is causing that but i've seen this issue multiple times. Maybe cookies or something.
