I reset my phone and completely forgot about the authenticator app. So now I don't have access to my Webmin anymore... but of course I still am the root user of the system. So how can I get access back to webmin? Surely there is just a configuration file somewere that needs to be modified...
You can manually turn off two-factor authentication by SSHing in as root, editing /etc/webmin/miniserv.users and remove the word "totp" or "authy" from the line for the root user. Then run "/etc/webmin/restart".
