Webadmin Password doesn't work after V4 restore

Hi all

This is getting real fustrating*@!
After installing V5, applying the license to get up2date to work and installing the three available updates, reapplying the license that has disappeared in the process and restoring a V4 backup everything works!
Everything? Not quiet. After the first reboot all is great, Astaro works like a charm, except that Webmin doesn't accept my password anyomore!!
What gives??? Any Ideas?

Do you have root access? If so you can reset and re enter the passwords.

If you have root access just edit /etc/wfe/conf/settings and change the reset_password 0 flag to a 1 and then save the file. now the next time you go to webadmin you'll be prompted for the system passwords again.

You may use "joe" or "vi" to edit, whatever you prefer, but joe is far easier and ctrl+h will give you help commands.

Thanks a bunch!
I have root access, edited /etc/wfe/conf/settings and changed the reset_password 0 flag to a 1 and then saved the file. That did it.
