Re: Changing Webmin Password?

John,

When you ran the install script it asked you for a default username and
password.  when you goto http://machine:10000 or https://machine:10000
this is the information you need to enter (none of this is text based,
it's all web).  Once you enter this in, you are now the 'root' or 'admin'
user on the machine.

Once in here, the "users" sectoin will be availabe.  you can then set the
username to be in sync with te unix password... hence, if the password
gets changed on the macihne, it will be reflected in webmin.

I do not know of any way to change the passwords at a command shell
without this option being set.
