Ssh is not possible

How did you change it?
Password changes must be done via the webgui otherwise things can get out of sync. Change it again via the webgui and you should be able to ssh on that account.Steve

Did you change it originally using passwd at the command line?
Steve

I am not able to use passwd admin in command prompt ,its shows that no such user
-
I'm asking if that's how you tried to change it the first time because using passwd is not valid in pfSense.

I use this way to change the admin password , Do I need to reset the password from the server by choosing the option 3 .If I do so any harm for my current configuration will cause ..
-
Reseting the password should not change any other configuration.
Can you login as root?

Enter an option:
why can't the admin is not activated on ssh , how can I login with admin
-
The admin and root accounts are effectively the same in pfSense, they should have the same password.
I'm not entirely sure what you have done. You are still able to login as root, presumably using the old password, have you tried the old password with the admin account?Steve
