Title: How to Change Admin-Password over Console
Post by: LKaderavek on Tuesday 12 August 2008, 04:33:43 am
Dear Supporters!

I changed my Admin-Account Password over the Browser-GUI and now my firewall is not accessable anymore.

I have root-access over PUTTY.

Please help me to change the password over the root account and the console-session over putty!

I'm not able to do that because my linux know how is not good!

Thanks for every help.

Lukas

Login to the console and use following command

htpasswd -m /var/efw/auth/users admin

htpasswd is the binary to make password through login handleld by apache
-m is for using md5 encryption
/var/efw/auth/users is the file in that apache looks for valid user and passwords (credentials)
admin is the name of the user you want to change the password for

That's it ;
