Password change using "passwd" is not persistent #51

Of course I want a strong password for PiWebcam.

Changing the password in the ssh console using "sudo passwd admin" and entering the old and new passwords is done successfully.

Even tested the new password in a parallel Putty session to see if it was succesfully changed. So far so good.

The new password seems to work for a while,, but also reverts to the original default, I think based on web access or so.

What is the cause of this? Is there a /etc script that forces the newbie to a default password?

Otherwise no complaints, keep the good work up, regards!
