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
typemount LABEL=root /mnt/gentoo
- chroot into your Astaro's root
typechroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
- reset password of root
typepasswd
- reset password of loginuser
passwd loginuser
- exit chroot
typeexit
- unmount Astaro's root and reboot
typeumount /mnt/gentoo && reboot
(don't forget to remove the CD)
if you know an easier way, suggestions are welcome
Afterwards you can reset the webadmin's password:
[LIST=2]
- login to your astaro via console
- type
cc
enter
following should appear:Confd command-line client. Maintainer:

- type

enter
following should appear:calling $self->Connection()->system_password_reset;
1 - type
Ctrl c
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
