How is it possible that after a few days I can not log into Webmin with the 1000% correct data and returns the user name and password? Someone broke into the server?

I run webmin on port 443

I doubt it,
1. Check if webmin is running...

2. Look at /etc/webmin/webmin.acl to check if users are correct...

3. You can reset webmin password any time with

root@xenya:~# pico /etc/webmin/webmin.acl

"myusername": webmincron clamav pam syslog-ng system-status dhcp-dns dansguardian dovecot mailscanner dyndns xinetd iscsitarget bsdexports dfsad$
user: status

root@xenya:~# /usr/local/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin "myusername" "mynewpass"
The Webmin user "myusername" does not exist
The users on your system are: admin user
root@xenya:~# /usr/local/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin admin "mypass"
Updated password of Webmin user admin
root@xenya:~#

...and i cant reset pass with sms tool

After reset pass with command line, i can t see module in webmin, only system info

what is the problem?

Hi simbad:

I have had trouble with changing passwd. For some reason webmin did not like my passwd. So, I do admin admin, then login to webmin and click on webmin users --> admin and set password to what I want.

Don't know if that will solve your problem but might be worth a try.

what is in your /etc/webmin/webmin.groups?

You webmin.acl has myusername, either change it to admin or add admin followed with your modules...
syntax is
user : modules allowed to see...
