lakelover Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have started Webmin from root. I get the log-in asking for user name and password, so I use my user account user name and root password which is not accepted. Then I try a couple of passwords that I have set for Mandriva login and for securioty administration. Nothing works. How do I change the password or set the password to get into Webmin?

aioshin Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 so I use my user account user name and root password which is not accepted. You should used the word "root" and the root password, not the users account user name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelover Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks. . . I guess I need to learn nomenclature, or read instructions carefully. Your direction worked perfectly. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Now that you're in, you can add users to webmin, and then give them access to certain items, and restrict what they can/cannot do. Using root all the time is OK, if it's only you who would be using it, but probably best practice is specific usernames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
