I tried that too...

I did 'gem uninstall chef;gem install chef' a couple of times... then i was 
very careful when changing the admin password... and the first thing i did 
was create some extra admin users just to be on the safe side :-)

I still don't know why this happens. 

Now that I'm up and running I'm not actually using the webui very much. The 
command line utility 'knife' is really good.
