Admin panel is broken.

[Smiley-McSmiles]

Describe the bug
After launching the admin panel, grabbing the admin_password.txt content. I can log in, but after I change the password (Which is explicitly recommended) I can no longer log into the admin panel with my new password. Instead I'm given the error authentication failed I've restarted httpd as well and still no go. I tried clearing my browsers history and cookies, even installed a new browser just to test, and it will not accept the new password.

And you changed the password through www.yourdomain.com/webmail?admin and not the txt file?
