Issue logging in to hestia

Hi all,
Having issues with new install of Hestia, when I try to login just get told the information is wrong.

I did check Can't log in after install - #4 by eris and followed that, and everything is good.

I checked auth.log and find the following:

Aug 29 20:00:01 andrew CRON[11829]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user admin by (uid=0)
Aug 29 20:00:01 andrew CRON[11830]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user admin by (uid=0)
Aug 29 20:00:01 andrew CRON[11831]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user admin by (uid=0)
Aug 29 20:00:01 andrew CRON[11831]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user admin
Aug 29 20:00:01 andrew CRON[11830]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user admin
Aug 29 20:00:03 andrew CRON[11829]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user admin

That’s the system auth.log, you must check this auth.log:

/var/log/hestia/auth.log

You should also check these log files:

/var/log/hestia/nginx-error.log
/var/log/hestia/error.log
/var/log/hestia/system.log

Check that your disk has free space:

df -h /usr/local/hestia/

You could try to change the admin password (use single quotes to enclose the password):

v-change-user-password admin 'YourPassword'

so it seems the password I previously used wasn’t liked under this version of Hestia, I changed the password to something else and it worked.

Thanks for the help Sahsanu!
