How to Change the User Password from Webmin?
If you’ve forgotten the Webmin master root password on Webmin authentication, you can reset the root password by accessing the system shell by SSH. You can change the Webmin root password with the script called changepass.pl. If you have installed Webmin in /usr/local/webmin, you need to change the password of the root user by running the following command:
# /usr/local/webmin/changepass.pl /etcwebmin root password
By default, when you login to Webmin, it will authenticate the username and password against credentials of the same username in Linux account. Thus, Webmin users share the same password with Linux account and it is always in sync. We can also manually create users with their own username and passwords which are different from system accounts. To change the user password from your Webmin interface, please follow the below-given steps:
1) Login into Webmin interface.
2) Click on the option ‘System’ in the left sidebar of Webmin.
3) Select the option ‘Change Password’ and you will able to see a screen with all of the users listed.
4) Select the user which you want to change the password from the list.
5) Enter the new password. Here you need to select the following options:
Force user to change password at next login?
Change password in other modules?
After that click on the ‘Change’ button.
6) After completing all these steps, you have successfully changed the password of the selected user and this will display a message like the following.
