If you are unable to sign into Webmin due to a rejected password, you can manually reset the password with:
/usr/local/lib/webmin/changepass.pl /usr/local/etc/webmin admin <newpass>
This has been known to occur when there are no user accounts (other than root) invited to the wheel group.
To add an existing account to the wheel group:
pw groupmod wheel -m <user>
If you did not create a standard user account during the FreeBSD installation, you can use the adduser command to create one:
adduser
