Hi there, I am tryning to login into the [prompt-master] user account, and the "login as admin" funcion is simply not working for that particular account, so I noticed it was created by the ROOT user: (pls see attached image)

1 - How can I access that account to manage it?
2 - Can I move this account to a regular admin user?
Thanks

The first admin account is -always- created by root since Directadmin is installed via root. This is normal.
You can access this admin account with the credentials you got when the DA installation is ended.

1.) Just use the credentials for admin.
2.) Not needed it is already a regular admin account.

If you forgot the credentials or closed SSH before you got them, the just change the password via the passwd command as root.
passwd admin
you can create new credentials like that.
Be aware that due the a bug most likely the FTP account isn't changed, so you might need to create a new ftp account for admin.

thought its a feature and not a bug? because main DB account password is also not changed, when changing only admin pw.

This is admin's DB account password (user level) which is changed, that is different from the da_admin db account password. ;)
