Forgot Login Details

  • If you can boot your system off of a Linux live CD, like Ubuntu, or anything, you should be able to reset your root password if your filesystem isn't encrypted. Once you've booted, simply mount your root filesystem somewhere: "mkdir /mnt/root && mount /dev/sdwhatever /mnt/root". Then, you want to "chroot" into your system "chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash". This will give you a root shell running in the context of your installed OMV system. You can then simply type "passwd" to change the root password. Afterwards, type "exit" to get out of the chroot, "umount /mnt/root" to unmount the root filesystem, and reboot. You can then login as root and...I'm sure someone else here can help you reset the OMV admin password. Possibly "omv-firstaid" will let you do it?


    Edit: Writing down passwords? Really? If you must store them someplace, use something like LastPass, OnePassword, or another secure option.
