SSH via "admin" is no longer possible?

The "admin" account isn't really listed anywhere in the GUI. It's just 
there and usually works.

Could it be that someone changed the password of user "admin" without 
your knowledge?

That may be possible. Please contact me offlist with what login details 
you have for the server (also if you have any other account with access 
privileges of "serverAdministrator" or at least "siteAdmin" and I'll see 
what I can find out.

Unless you *do* have another account with "serverAdmin" privileges there 
is no real way to fix this remotely, though. In that case physical 
access or console access via IPMI would be needed.
