==Reset the root and admin password==

−

=== For versions previous to 10 ===

1. Restart your server and at the beginning of the boot-up use the arrow keys to select the kernel you would like to boot into.

Line 289: Line 290:

passwd admin

Reboot your server and everything should be okay now.

=== For version 10 on ===

# At boot use ESC to bring up the boot prompt.

# At the boot prompt, use E to enter edit mode.

# Find the kernel line which starts with '''linux16'''.

# Alter '''ro''' to '''rw init=/sysroot/bin/sh'''. The rest of the line after that can be left as-is.

# Use either CTRL+X or F10 to boot into single user mode.

# Change root to the system by issuing: '''chroot /sysroot'''.

# Type '''passwd''' and follow the prompts to change the root password.

# Type '''passwd admin''' and follow the prompts to change the adminpassword. These must both be the same.

# Run reboot -f or ctrl-alt-del to reboot the server.
