The command smbpasswd might help. The weblogin credentials are managed by samba. If this works, it won't survive a reboot, so you need to change it again in the webinterface.

What problem did you meet?
If you forget the password for web GUI, then you can press hardware reset button with 1 beep and release, then the webGUI and admin's password will back to 1234.

I managed to do it with a little script placed in "sbin" called "account.sh" , it does the same thing that "press hardware reset button with 1 beep and release" . I saw the script and actually just restore "passwd" "shadow" "smbpasswd" to default ones. So the answer from @Mijzelf it seems right to me. Thank a lot for the fast response.
