Cannot log in to wifiadmin

Hello!
 
Im hopeing someone can help me out.  I have a voyage linux (2.6.8) Wrap board using thttpd and php and a tweaked version of wifiadmin, (tweaked by metrix communications (http://metrix.net/metrix/howto/metrix-pebble.html)) .  I get the login page but connot login with any passwords that I have used, or what is supposed to be the default (admin:wifiadmin)   This is what happened:
 
I originally got the regular distribution of wifiadmin from sourceforge (0.0.4), and untarred it to /var/www/wifiadmin/, edited the include/config.php file to turn off mysql and then I http'd to it, and logged in as the admin with the default password of wifiadmin, there was a few errors, but otherwise it seemed to "work" i could create users, etc...  I did create a user, but didnt change the admin password (i am testing in house). 
 
well, after a bit of googleing i figured out that it takes some tweaking to make wifiadmin work with voyage.  I had the bright idea to use the metrix version as it was tweaked for a pebble linux based system, so...
 
I just deleted the /var/www/wifiadmin folder. I then untarred the metrix version in www-root folder (/var/www/) so it will answer a direct http request.  so far so good. the metrix version creates a password file in /etc/wifiadmin.passwd.  I didnt want to give root permissions to the httpd user in /etc so I edited to place it in /etc/wifi/wifiadmin.passwd and placed the correct permissions on the /etc/wifi directory. 
 
the page displays correctly but I cannot log into wifiadmin with ANY user/pass that I know of.  I have tried all that are valid on the box, and default, and those that I had used/created when it DID work the first time, nothing works.   I have even tried to reverse the situation and remove the tweaked version and tried the 0.0.4 again, and still cant log in with anything.
 
Is there a way to reset the password, or create (edit) the passwd file to "create" a user/pass??  Or am I just S.O.L.?  any ideas and help will be great.
 
Thanks all
