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.

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 ;

Greetings sunblast
