SOLVED: Webmin does not login after first install

Hi All,
I installed amahi 9 & installed webmin app, but when I try to login with Username: root & Password: (my root password or fedora password) it gives me login failed.
I uninstalled & installed webmin to rule out bad installation again but still nothing.
What am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks.

Did you set a root password when installing Fedora? If not, try your first admin user name and password.
Please let us know if that works.

No I did not create a root password as the setup wiki
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_9_Install says not to.
I only have one user which is the admin & it does not work with webmin. I can login as root in the hda text console using "sudo su -".

Probably the easiest fix is to create a root password. To do so, do the following:
Once finished, try logging into
webmin App as root with the new password.

or
will take care of it ?

Just enter the commands as I specified.
The password you set will be for root.
