Web password lost!

All Bases Covered St. Louis over 23 years ago

I have changed the web password and forgotten it. I have access from the console as well as ssh. What console commands do I use the change the web password? Thanks

I am sorry michael,
but that is wrong.

Do this instead:

login as root

execute /bin/wfe_passwd admin > /etc/wfe/conf/loginpwd

And set the password

this should be it

kind regards
Gert

sorry - you're absolutely right!

the admin user's password shouldn't be changed the way i proposed to do.

bye,
michael
