Did you manually change the MySQL root password? If so, you need to go to Webmin -> Servers -> MySQL Database and tell Webmin the new correct password.

Solution in comment #1 above works. Thanks JamieCameron :)

For others facing the same challenge. In addition to #1. When you create or change your MySQL password. Double check that it does not contain any backslash "\" character. It's related to that bug.
