F5 Big IP Web GUI not picking up changes

Hello,   Thank you for your time. I have a problem with one of our f5's. The other day i wanted to change the root and admin passwords. I can change them in the web GUI just fine and click update....

Hi zpavlovic,

Either change it as admin in the GUI via System/Platform or login via SSH and enter 

passwd root
. Specify the new password and you should be all good. If you are running a redundant pair, you'll want to perform a config sync to mirror the change to the other unit.
