To 'acknowledge' means to recognize or have knowledge of something. You can acknowledge a person's work or contribution, for example.
To 'admit' is to take responsibility for or to accept something. You can admit making a mistake, or a country admits a foreigner to visit for a period of time.

Robert's explanation is a good one.
There are also some cases where they overlap and could both be used to mean more or less the same thing:
I acknowledge that we have a problem with spending.
I admit that we have a problem with spending.
In these cases, they both mean that the speaker accepts the following statement as true.
