You might be missing the Perl module required for SSL.  I *think* it's 
Net::SSLeay, which is the package perl-Net_SSLeay.pm on at least one 
system I use Webmin on.  On a system with a newer OS release, it's 
perl-Net-SSLeay.

You might also need to log in via shell and manually tweak the access 
list to let you in - look in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf for the "allow=" 
line.
