Re: Changing Webmin Password?

If the /etc/webmin directory doesn't exist, then webmin hasn't been
installed .. or maybe when installing, you entered a different
configuration directory instead of using the default of /etc/webmin .

Use the command   find / -name miniserv.conf  to find the webmin
config directory (it will be the directory the miniserv.conf file is in),
and then run

/usr/local/webmin-0.980/changepass.pl /path/to/config/dir admin NEWPASSWORD
