You need to disable caching on your admin page. Google "disable page caching asp.net" for code examples of how to do this.

You could remove token that allows you access on page unload. (by token, I mean whatever mechanism you use to login)

In such cases, I would recommend using Session variables. Only keep the session active when he is on the page, even if he redirects from the page, remove the variable.

Even if you don't deal with caching and all those "browser buttons" you can get correct behavior based on user authentication which is always based on the server side and does not depend on what one has in cache or simply in a second Browser window. It does not mean that the users sees some page which is not supposed to be viewed because current access does not allow it. After all, this is unavoidable — anyone can always have a copy of any page. :-)
What's important that any action based on HTTP request on this page will be disabled for a non-authenticated user. Isn't it simple?
