Lost All Passwords - TIP

I couldn't log on to my newly installed and configured ASL7, always getting incorrect user/password on webadmin
even console login as loginuser and/or root didn't work. Being too lazy to reinstall and re-configure again, I decided to try the 'reset password' way, which already worked on ASL6. Since I never found a similar way to reset passwords for a completely locked ASL, here's the howto:

[LIST=1]

download Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD/InstallCD related to your Astaro's architecture from http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml
and burn your ISO to CD (other distros should work as well)
boot you locked Astaro from above burned CD
mount the Astaro's root partition to /mnt/gentoo
type
```
mount LABEL=root /mnt/gentoo
```
chroot into your Astaro's root
type
```
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
```
reset password of root
type
```
passwd
```
reset password of loginuser
```
passwd loginuser
```
exit chroot
type
```
exit
```
unmount Astaro's root and reboot
type
```
umount /mnt/gentoo && reboot
```
(don't forget to remove the CD)

[/LIST]

if you know an easier way, suggestions are welcome

Afterwards you can reset the webadmin's password:
[LIST=2]

type

enter
browse to you astaro's webadmin page (https://:4444)
set the new admin password and confirm
now you can login as admin with the new password again
since the above resets passwords for webadmin AND loginuser AND root, don't forget to reset their passwords as well via Management >> System Settings >> Shell Access

Does anyone have any idea how this happened? Our system has been running for months without any changes. Then out of the blue this happened...

Was there something in a definition update?

Hi all,
we have a system where a collegue has changed the name of the webadmin user but he did not remeber to what he has changed.
In all Backups that exist there is the wrong username.
To the Console i have access va Root user (after reset of passwd).

Has anyone an idea to reanimate the "admin" User ??

thanks for any idea

Hi BarryG,

shure but the user Admin does not exist on this ASL and the Username of the new User is not known and after the cc command there is also no User Admin.

Thanks

Although a bit late, future readers may benefit from this. Reactivating the admin user can be achieved through the confd client. Here are the commands:

Post 7.400:
cc
OBJS
role
role
REF_SuperadminRole
members=['REF_DefaultSuperAdmin']
w

(note:no typo, role command is issued twice in a row)
You will want to make sure to log into webadmin and alter the allowed users from there once complete.

Another Tip:
short command to change admin password to P@ssw0rd!:
cc passwd P@ssw0rd!
