He needs to set a password for the user(s) in the admins list in
imapd.conf.
The imapd.conf he supplied includes this:
# Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who
# have admin rights for all services.
#admins: cyrus
Since the line is still commented out, it would appear he has specified
no admins. He should uncomment this line, then set a password for the
cyrus user:
passwd cyrus
That's assuming the cyrus user exists, and is intended for cyrus
administration on his system.
He should also view the man page for imapd.conf:
man imapd.conf
and pay close attention to the admins entry under FIELD DESCRIPTIONS,
which, on my version (2.3.x) says:
admins: <empty string>
The list of userids with administrative rights. Separate
each userid with a space. Sites using Kerberos authentication
may use separate "admin" instances.
Note that accounts used by users should not be administrators.
Administrative accounts should not receive mail. That is, if
user "jbRo" is a user reading mail, he should not also be in
the admins line. Some problems may occur otherwise, most
notably the ability of administrators to create top-level
mailboxes visible to users, but not writable by users.
