Thanks, works.  OpenSPF accepted until 2011 as CA by my "mozilla-3" :-)

Don't forget to mention this CRT URL if you intend to announce the new
https support on the "announce list" (IMO it's unnecessary but YMMV):
http://www.openspf.org/blobs/openspf.org-ca.crt

Together with an MD5 and SHA-1, I lost the code to determine the MD5,
but it was the expected result (= same as determined by openssl.exe,
concatenate B64, decode B64 to get DER, get MD5 of DER, encode MD5 as
hex., insert colons, ready).

I tested it again, now inserting the login password, now I get this:

| UserName mumble foobar saved.
| Password removed.
| Administrator password changed.
| User does not have administrative abilities. (Password does not match
| administrative password(s).)

There's only one "admin password" field on the "editprefs" page, it's
the form parameter p_adminpw with default value "*", you can't miss it.

Okay.  If what you're saying somehow means that I can't get the usual
"remember me on this PC" cookie effect I'm really forced to change it
to something I can remember.  Which would be something I use elsewhere
(not for anything related to money, don't worry).
