Clean install > admin / setup does not work

I just did a clean install on a Fedora Core 2 system of the install script type. Everything went perfect, but when I connect to https://[mydomain]:8443 and try to login with user admin and password setup, I get the message "Access denied". Why is that? (And no, my caps-lock is not on). How can I reset the password without access to the GUI?

When I open /etc/psa/.psa.shadow the password is "setup" but I really cannot log in.
 
You mysql password is different than setup. If you try in command line to login to mysql with:

mysql -uadmin -psetup

Does it work?
 
I found the problem, though I think it's more of a bug: When I connect to https://[domainname]:8443 it does not work. When I connected to https://[ip]:8443 it did work, though in the installation manual it says that I can connect to either the domain name or the ip address, I guess it's either listed wrong in the manual, or it's a bug.
 
Technically there is no difference if you login through website name or IP. Do you use a home router with load balancing?
 
I am having this problem too..

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

I log in just fine, cant login via psa.
 
My problem I guess was roots pw needs to match the pw set for admin, install didnt grab it correctly the first time around.
