Topic: Forgoten postmaster account passwd

Good evening to everyone

I have installed and using an older version of iredmailOS for more than a year.
Recently i was trying to connect as postmaster on mail or even at postfix but i have totaly forgot the password.
is there any way to recover it or change it?
Please note that i have physical access to the server and remote also from local lan (via webmin, or ssh)

Thanks in advance

Re: Forgoten postmaster account passwd

You can always update account password with phpMyAdmin (for MySQL backend) or iRedAdmin/phpLDAPadmin (for OpenLDAP).

if you store mail accounts in MySQL backend, admin accounts are stored in table "vmail.admin".
You can create a MD5 encrypted password with openssl command:

$ openssl passwd -1 new_password
$1$RqqzbHAB$TiEjF96BXEbFYFdzfRq2V.

Then update column 'password' of your admin account to this encrypted password.

If you store mail accounts in OpenLDAP backend, admin accounts are stored in "o=domainAdmins,dc=xxx,dc=xxx", please login to iRedAdmin or phpLDAPadmin to update password.
