Try using GUI to reset the password. Do note the user id is admin not root.

    Can you login using user id 'admin' in the GUI?

    Well NO - thats where im facing the problem. THis is how I have done the password reset with root via CLI

    modify auth user Admin prompt-for-password

    changing password for Admin

    new password:

    confirm password:

    Post this I was able to login successfully to TMSH with Admin - Again not to GUI.

    auth user Admin {

    description Admin

encrypted-password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

partition Common

partition-access {

    all-partitions {

        role admin
    }
}
shell bash

    }

    This is the default. As you see here it's none for shell. May be you create another user with shell none and see if you can login with that.

       auth user admin {
    description "Admin User"
    encrypted-password $1$salt$IEd.dPRrJY41NYnnaBENQ1
    partition Common
    partition-access {
        all-partitions {
            role admin
        }
    }
    shell none
}
