Admin user pw reset does not work

Post by doggy101 »

Hi All,

since last yum update I'm not able to login to mailscanner with my admin account.
Even resetting it on the console does not work.

does anyone have any clue?

You can try resetting it in the database...

Look in /etc/EFA-Config for the mysql root password, log into the database, and alter the users table in mailscanner (mailwatch).

Hi Shawniverson,

found the root password en logged in to the SQL server, in the table "users" there's no user mailwatch to alter.
