CHANGE YOUR LOST WEBMIN PASSWORD

So .. Setting up DNS, nameservers, routers the initial server install and finally webmin .. get excited, have a play around and…. oh crap; I have forgotten my root password for webmin. Never fear, to change the password for a webmin user use the below command:

/usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin username password

If your password has unusual characters in it you can surround the password with double quotations.
