TCP Wrappers is usually in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny if I remember correctly. If you don't see any rules listed there, it's not TCP wrappers.
To set up a root password (when you have console access) you just: sudo passwd root and create a new password for the root user. You might want to look at your own ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the certificate, make sure you're not running into a problem there. Or any other files in the .ssh directory in which you might have created a private key/certificate for the server. Does Webmin use your own username/password or does it have a separate one in the database for Webmin?
