webmin

I've installed Webmin in my server. The users of my Unix server must be able to change their passwords. So, for that, they use Usermin. But users just can't login in Usermin module. I get always this message:

Login failed. Please try again.

What is the reason for this behavior? How can I give access to Usermin to my users?

I'm able to login as any user when viewing "Current Login Sessions" -> "Switch to Usermin user:", with the Admin user.
