Answer 1

You need to set http for admin section. Please check your settings in admin base url settings.

Answer 2

It happened to me too, I could not access the admin back-end to change admin base URL setting. I did the following and it worked. I ran this query UPDATE core_config_data SET value = '1' WHERE path='web/secure/use_in_adminhtml' directly in the database and then ran php bin/magento cache:clean
