I have solved the issues.
First I did the following:
sudo www-data php /usr/local/lib/owncloud/occ group:add (the user)
sudo mailinabox/tools/owncloud-unlockadmin.sh (User)

That’s it

So thank you all who has participated helping to solve it

Is there actually an account called admin@turvyhost.com, or is that being aliased to another account?

You need to enable admin on Nextcloud. This is an unsupported modification, however it is possible. After enabling the administrator user for nextcloud you can control nextcloud user disk space quotas and install new apps. Beware many of the apps will eat up your RAM and will slow down your server.

run the following from terminal, if you wish to do so and then login with the administrator email and password, i.e. as when you login Admin page on MIAB:

sudo mailinabox/tools/owncloud-unlockadmin.sh
