Impossible to connect to Webmin after it is installed by Cloudmin

  • I have reinstalled a fresh CentOS 7.
  • I can connect through SSH with the password I have chosen while installing the machine
  • I go to Cloudmin and add the physical machine
  • I go on Hosts systems and I register it as a KVM Host, letting it do the installation of the bridge, webmin and kvm software and all go smooth:
**Setting up KVM host system ..**

Installing Webmin …
… done

Checking system status …
… done

Installing required commands …
… done

Installing KVM packages …
… done

Enabling CGroups …
… done

Loading KVM kernel module …
… done

Creating loopback device files …
… done

Setting up br0 network bridge …
… done

… setup complete! You can now add this system as a KVM host.

  • I reboot the machine
  • I go to https://[IP]/:10000 where I see the webmin login screen
  • I put root and my password in the login form
  • I get Login failed. Please try again.

So I will use the solution you gave earlier to set the webmin password. If I had used a password to connect to the physical machine instead of the SSH key I could have connected through the login screen.
