Changing system root password

If you lost your system root password, it is not possible to change it without direct access to the machine.

You need to boot the machine with our PBXware 3.x Live/Installation CD which you can download from our website.  

  • In the BIOS of your machine set it to boot from CD/DVD (it is possible to do so with USB since we have USB image for booting also)
  • When the system asks you whether it should continue with the installation, you should chose Exit to shell option
  • Create a test folder with following command: mkdir /test
  • Mount the hda1 to that test folder with: mount /dev/hda1 /test
  • Chroot into that environment with: chroot /test
  • Change root password with: passwd root
  • When you are done changing password type exit and then poweroff to power off your machine

 Next time you power on your machine without CD/DVD/USB, your root password will be changed as per above.
