Stupid Question...

[Farrawh]

Hey all, I have a Stupid Question and hope you can all help. I have tried looking on the Forum for help but cannot find what I am looking for so I wanted to ask here.

Does anyone know where I can locate the pwAdmin Password in winSCP? As my Dev doesn't remember what he wrote and saved it.. and I would like access.. If anyone knows please tell me would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

It is the root password you use to log into your server, if you only have a user password and have not set the root one, go to the terminal and type

sudo passwd

Then put it to what you want

If the root password has been set and you cannot remember it, I can't help you, try the ubuntu forums to find a way to force the password.

you can load the recovery kernel by hitting esc while grub is loading. it bypasses all passwords and should allow you to reset them

O.o aren't these methods the hard way.

You want to locate the password for pwAdmin correct? I'm guessing you already know the password to login into the server via winSCP correct?

Well the password for pwAdmin is stored in md5 in the config file.

So...
1 - Start the server
2 - login with winSCP
3 - Navigate to your pwAdmin directory. If using jetty it will be in jetty somewhere. If using lammp it will be in /opt/lampp/... If using Tomcat it will be in tomcat-X.XX/webapps. Tomcat and jetty will most likely be in either the /root/... or /PWServer
4 - Edit the file pwadminconf.jsp
5 - Generate a new md5 password and save.
6 - tada you have access to pwAdmin. Make sure you remember the password this time.

If you look in the config file it's right freakin' there

	// default password is root -> 63a9f0ea7bb98050796b649e85481845

if you ever need to 'reset' it, just place that back into this line

	String iweb_password = "63a9f0ea7bb98050796b649e85481845";
