You need to be root to view the log files on the console, so you either need to log in as user 'root' or, if you logged in as 'loginuser', become 'root' with the command "su -", which then asks you for the root accounts password.
So, if you are root, change to the log directory with "cd /var/log", where you can list the logfiles with "ls *.log" and view the contents of those files with "less FILENAME".
The first file i'd look at is the confd.log. Look for something that is timely close to the time where you failed to log in into the webadmin.
Oh, and btw., the usual timeout for Authentication failures is 10 minutes. Did you wait those 10 minutes before you tried it again?
