If you installed without SSL and wish you had then
# service webmin stop

Re-install Net_SSLeay, rerun setup.sh and remove backup files
# rm -rf /opt/webminold

Uninstall

RPM
# rpm -e webmin


tgz
# /etc/webmin/uninstall.sh

webmin without a root account
On ubuntu and xubuntu there is NO root password so you won't be able to login to the webmin webpage
$ sudo updatedb 
$ sudo locate changepass.pl
$ sudo locate miniserv.conf


Change your working path to the webmin binary install directory and then run changepass.pl:
$ cd <webmin-install-dir>
$ sudo ./changepass.pl <webmin-config-dir> root <newpassword>
