Ubuntu Server 7.10

I'm having a hell of a time trying to change the password for webmin.. I messed up on the install and typed in the wrong password, and now I have no idea what it is, hence the change.

So this is what I have done so far:

/root/webmin-1.380/changepass.pl /etc/webmin admin MyPassword

And I get this error:

The Webmin user admin does not exist
The users on your system are:admin

Its contradicting itself... It says that the user admin doesn't exist, but then says that my user is admin...:confused:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I thought by default webmin uses the username and password of the user that installed it. so when you goto https://YOUIP:10000. If not remove and reinstall.
