How to Install Webmin on Ubuntu 11.04

Recently I launched my own server and its the first time I have ever done this. Im running a Red Hat Linux server and I wanted to install Webmin, but I didnt really know how. Thus, I thought we would run through an installation guide of Wedmin, but this time on Ubuntu and the new Ubuntu 11.04.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib
Save and exit the file
Now you need to import GPG key
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
Update the source list
sudo apt-get update
Install webmin
sudo apt-get install webmin
Now you need to access webmin using http://serverip:10000/ once it opens you should see similar to the following screen

Solved same issue with Mythbuntu 11.04 - The default webmin user was root, with an unknown password. This did not match my username and password set during install!
Ran this script to set it;
sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root "your-password"
Once in to the web, I added a new webmin user, to match my logon name. Hope this helps someone get it fixed!
