Bugs in Direct Admin install?

Made a new install Alma 9+ DA. Cannot enter DA with given password. No error message. Changed pasword using SSH. Password change confirmed. Still cannot enter DA, no password error message. Introducing wrong password, error message is displayed in red. I do not know what is happening.

+ if you have a retail license, free installation service is included there.

Password was changed already. Changed it again. Tried all the rest. Same result. With good password cannot login on DA, no error message. With wrong password can not log in as well but wrong password message is displayed in red.
 
I managed to login using the link provided at the installation end. It connects without the need for password. Tried to change the password from inside DA, get this error:

I think it is related with Alma 9
So why don't you request a free installation service if you're entitled to it? If there is a bug, it will be found and they can fix it. They will find the cause anyway.

Will wipe disk again and retry good old Centos 7
Why Centos 7 if Alma 8 is working too? Centos 7 is EOL 2024. Alma 8 is 2029, which is 5 years later.
And Alma 8 is running fine anyway.

1. That is because I use DA for 10 years or so, installed it so many times by myself without any help. Want to continue doing same way.
2. Alma 8 is running fine indeed. That is why I tested Alma 9, somebody replied earlier that Alma 9 is working with DA since yesterday. You may not believe, but I tested Alma 9 this morning (install made past evening), it is working now, I can log in, that is after I spent hours yesterday couldn't log in after changing password and everything. What I am doing, is trying to get some experience with this Alma release, as I have live servers working on CentOS 7 that must be switched to Alma or something else in the future. I see both CPanel and DA users recommends Alma. I don't have any personal preference, all I want is to work. Also tested Stream and Oracle Linux, both works. I do not understand whey they ought to kill Centos7. Probably it was too good to be free.
I appreciate the support from everybody and I thank you very much.
BTW there is no message of any kind, about finishing the install or anything else.

You shouldn't have reinstalled mysql, except for the password there was nothing wrong with it.

Luckily you get the same error notice.
There is something wrong with db passwd, any idea how to solve that?
