There is. I can see it in my installs.
If you do generate random use the eye icon to view.
Try going to virtual-server.name - Edit Databases and set the password.

As I was testing this again on a fresh snapshot, I realized the root account said the password was āunix authenticationā and I donāt recall seeing that before. I must have changed the root password from a different dialog?! In any case, upon seeing this I changed my root password via Debian CLI and it worked fine. The login for webmin was properly using the changed password and there were no issues with MariaDB.
I have little time right now, so I canāt go back and figure out where I changed the password in the Webmin UI right now, but I will report back when/if I do. In the meantime, thereās clearly some area of the UI that allows a password change for root that breaks MariaDB. Seems like a bug to me.

Thanks for following up.
The only way we can identify for that to happen is what Jamie mentioned above (and we all spent some time on this, as I would consider it a serious misbehavior if such a thing did happen without being told to do so). I confirmed we are not configuring Webmin that way as part of Virtualmin install. So, weāre at a point where weād need help finding how to reproduce it, as none of us can find it.
It hasnāt come up before, AFAIK, so unless we get more reports, Iām gonna put it into the ācanāt reproduceā bucket in my head and move one for now. If somebody else runs into it, weāll try again.
Sounds good. I hate leaving stones unturned, so I will probably revisit, settle my own curiosity, and post my findings. Cheers!
