[SOLVED] lost admin password to web interface

[Yowza]

Be gentle...

I have lost my admin password to the web interface I did some settings modifications when starting up my Bubba | 2 a year and a half ago and it has been running since, no need for admin access.

I do have ssh access and the su pwd is unchanged so i believe I can do what is needed to either reset the admin password to the web interface or promote my ordinary user to admin over web.

Suggestions?

I need the password to set up my wlan add-on that is being delivered as I write.

I can't get to my bubba right now but if the admin is an ordinary unix user, you can change or reset that password by su-ing to root from the ssh terminal and use the

Code: Select all

passwd admin

command

really that simple? Will try when I'm back on the LAN at home...

Bazinga! Problem solved and Excito added a great entry to the wiki for guys like me that didn't study computer science (only applied physics).
