Steps to reset the admin password in Plesk Linux server.
How to change plesk admin password?
This can be accomplished with the ch_admin_passwd binary.
# cd /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/
# ./ch_admin_passwd --help
./ch_admin_passwd: Utility to set Plesk adminstrator's password
Gets password from the environment variable PSA_PASSWORD
Password should be from 5 to 16 symbols and should not contain login
name, whitespace, quotes or national characters.
Usage: ./ch_admin_passwd
-h, --help
display this help and exit
We must export the variable before running the binary. We will unset the
variable when we are done.
# export PSA_PASSWORD='newpass'
# echo $PSA_PASSWORD newpass
# ./ch_admin_passwd
# export PSA_PASSWORD=
# cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow
The password can be found in the below mentioned file in the server.
/etc/psa/.psa.shadow
This would be the same login password for mysql as well.
Hope you have got the passwords changed by now.
