 | View Full Version : root password lienzi 01-30-2001, 01:04 PM my root password changed recently on my raq3 while my admin password remains the same. I do not know why, is this a known bug? unfortunately I am not able to get root access to my box anymore. bad, very bad. -Edward- 01-30-2001, 01:07 PM have you contacted your host about this?. lienzi 01-30-2001, 01:19 PM yep, but no reply so far. brandonk 01-30-2001, 07:41 PM Login to the server admin via GUI: http://yourdomain/admin Go to the Admin Settings and change the password there. It will then change your root password from whatever it was, to what you specify... That ought to fix it. Thanks, Brandon brandon@webxonline.com lienzi 01-30-2001, 07:44 PM I already tried. does not work. I can add users, change passwords. Admin password is correctly changed through the web admin, root as well (compared /etc/shadow entries), but still no root access ("invalid password"). -Edward- 01-30-2001, 07:49 PM did u reboot the server as well? lienzi 01-30-2001, 07:51 PM yep. 3 times. no change. the admin webserver starts, but not the "normal" one for my websites. -Edward- 01-30-2001, 07:55 PM have you tryed changing the password via telnet? and then rebooting? |
