Use your own username and password for webmin’s login. I’m not entirely sure whether you need to be a member of the admin group (or otherwise a sudo’er). In my case, I am sudoer on most machines I have webmin installed.

That being said, it is possible to set a root password (though Ubuntu’s recommended way of doing superuser things is through sudo). To do this, login to the machine (via console or SSH), then type “sudo passwd”.

Hope that helps.

Jonathan.
