kohic Posted November 19, 2016 #1 Posted November 19, 2016 Hi, During installation of DSM 6 (Jun's mod) on HP microserver gen8 I changed a root password to different than admin password. Today, couple days later, I can't remember this root password to finalise a WOL configuration . Any chance to reset root password? Thx for any advise K.
CtrlAltDel Posted November 19, 2016 #2 Posted November 19, 2016 Yes, see this post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20216&start=420#p74492 some of the other info may have changed since the launch of Jun's v1.x loader.
bglf83 Posted November 20, 2016 #3 Posted November 20, 2016 I think this is what you need. I found this 2 days back on a synology forum. 1. Login using putty or any other ssh client with administrator account (usually "admin") 2. You will be asked for a password. Enter the one for the administrator account 3. You will get a command prompt 4. Enter: sudo su - 5. You will be asked for a password. Enter again the one for the administrator account 6. You will get a command prompt root@... 7. Enter command: synouser --setpw root your_new_root_password
