Mitel Standard Linux Password Reset 8

[mitelritz]

Ok so im like almost there on trying to figure out where the file is for the User reset since i have a working Tw server and a nonworking one Hopefully i can reboot the server and change the root password

but i found it in /home/e-smith/db/accounts but im not sure if theres another location to do a reset on a password.


if anyone

Thanks

According to Mitel documentation, a lost root/admin password means you would have to perform a new install.

If you have "found" where the password resides and change it, it may work, but there is no guarantee. There is not a lot of documentation on the internal files of the MSL. I hope you're able to make it work.

I also caution you on posting whether this works or not. As this is a public forum, you stand to potentially compromise the security of some Teleworker servers.

should i consider on closing this

Just do a re install
You say it is a non working server so no need to reconnect phones

reboot the server. as the o/s starts, hold down the "A" key. the server will continue to boot and prompt to change the password. remember to change the admin and root passwords (they should be the same).

-Installed 2 months ago...User changed Admin password and doesn't
* remember it anymore
* Here is the password recovery process:
*
* 1. When the server is booting and you see the screen for the boot
* option (SME Server-up EL or SME Server) enter an (A) to modify the
* kernel arguments before booting.
* 2. Type in a space then the word (single)
* you will see.. grub append> ro root=/dev/main/root_ single
* (the system will start to boot but will stop at sh-3.00#)
* 3. type passwd admin
* 4. type the new password and confirm it
* 5. type passwd root
* 6. type the new password and confirm it
* 7. reboot the server

NYtalkin - You get a star if someone proves this. I don't have a MAS in my lab.

Sounds like something that should be posted in the FAQs.
