I recently installed WordPress through Godaddy and am having trouble getting to the login page. I've tried both 'www.mysite.com/wp-login.php' as well as 'www.mysite.com/wp-admin/' and both url's do nothing but show my webpage. I am completely new to this so I'm probably missing something very easy or obvious. Any help would be much appreciated.

Those are the correct links - they SHOULD get you to your admin login page.
If you're not getting there, my best guess is that your WordPress installation is in a subfolder rather than in the root of your account. When installing WordPress using Go Daddy's Hosting Connection tool, the default installation folder is /wordpress
So, if that's how you initiated the install, and you didn't change the default folder, you would need to visit mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin to get to your login page.
If that's what happened and you'd prefer to have WordPress in the root instead, you can either install a new copy to the root (you should also uninstall the first copy that you don't want to use) or use these instructions from WordPress' Codex to move it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
