versions: 9.104 how to reset all password ?

I successfully reset the passwords with “passwd” command, but then, after reboot, when I try to login (directly on console / or through SSH), the passwords are not working.

  • I have the same problem on the current FW. I change passwords for loginuser and root and am unable to login with them.

    I've tried this a half dozen times without success.

  • First time we've seen you post - welcome to the UTM Community!

    Version?  What are you doing to change the passwords?  Please show a picture of the dialog where the login fails and tell us whther it's via SSH or on the Console.

    Cheers - Bob

  • I have the same problem since yesterday
    Following the KB article to change the password, but all fail ....

  • Guys, you must be misunderstanding something.  Without seeing a picture of the login failure, we can't even begin to guess or ask clarifying questions.

    When rebooting to console, by editing GRUB (init=/bin/bash)
    and giving the commands passwd loginuser, and passwd root
    you can change both password, and they work as long you stay in that console (tested with login:) as loginuser and su -)
    upon reboot it seems, that they don 't get saved, because neither of them seems to work anymore

  • For the admin user, did you do the following command?

    cc passwd mynewpassword

  • in console (with, on startup editing  init=/bin/bash)
    login:

     

    loginuser
    password OK

    su - root
    password OK

    cc gives me then

    Connection or login failed to 127.0.0.1:4472 Failed

  • "Connection or login failed to 127.0.0.1:4472 Failed"

    It looks like you're stuck reloading from ISO.  I would definitely do a RAM and hard drive check first though.  Do you have any backups off the box for the existing configuration?

  • no, i did'nt
    just preformed a new install yesterday :)

     

  • OK.  I was just checking to see if you needed the trick that let's you get a backup off the UTM at the command line, but it sounds like you didn't have anything to save.  Let us know if you have better luck with different hardware.

    Cheers - Bob
