Root password at OMV5

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    My root password changed by itself. I did not changed. I tried my root password, but I could not login.

    The root account is not allowed to log into the omv web ui, try local console see if the root password works. The user is 'admin' for the web panel

    How I can access and retrive or change my root password?

    So if this is the case and you cannot log into the console, can you log into the webui with admin?

    As you see below, it shows Access denied.

    This may have nothing to do with the password. Is the root login disabled in the SSH tab in the web interface?


    have crated new user with root rights in WEB interface. That user has belong to root and sudo group but still getting trouble as shown on below.

    Please don't create a user in the root group. sudo is all you need. I don't know why you are using "login root" when sudo su or sudo su - is what you should use

  • I checked the SSH tab, but it normal. I disabled then enabled. Nothing was changed.

    OK, But still I have to have root password.

    While not true, if you can login with a user that has sudo privileges, you can change it with sudo passwd root


    The scary thing is if something else hacked your system because of a simple root password and changed it -or- if you just didn't type the same password on install.

    Thanks your help. First sudo passwd root helped me. Second, I will change my root passwd.
