      I used webGUI to changed my admin user password.

      SYSTEM -> User Manager
      Edit the user "admin" and change the password.

      When I changed admin password, I found ssh root password had changed to the same password too.

      How Can I only chang admin password, and keep the ssh root password?

          root and admin cannot be separated, it's the same account but with two different names.

          Like johnpoz said, if you want someone to use a different GUI password, then create them a different user with their own username, and don't use 'admin'.
