solution you must reinstall ISPConfig3, firstly uninstall thru uninstall.php, then remove ispconfig dirs in /root, /home, and must delete ispconfig DB in mysql
I guess that's one path to a solution... It was probably just a password mismatch somewhere along the line. Good to see it's solved, though!
