This is just a guess. Isn't it webmin going to need to read the /etc/shadow file for the password? That file is readable only by the user root and the group shadow. See if there's anything in the webmin documentation for what to do about this.
Or, maybe it has its own users and isn't using the unix users. Dig into the webmin documentation and see what you can find.
