Subject: Re: Changing Webmin Password?


Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your help but I can't access with Webmin using root or admin as the username. I can get into the servers root via SSH, so there has to be a way I can change the password Webmin users for the user root or admin.

I had my login screen set up so I didn't have to login each time. Then I had to reformat my computer the other day and I lost the cookie that allowed me to login each time and I don't remember what I set the password to.

The way I change the passwords is to log in with the "admin" account that
was setup durung the install of Webmin. Once in there goto the Webmin
section. You will have a "Webmin Users" option and select this. then
choose the user to change the password for. in the users config screen
set the password to "Set to" and then enter the new password in the file
to the right.
