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>
