Re: Web interface username & password
I'm not sure, but it seems that there is no space in "-p<MailwatchPWD>".
Do you consider this?
user=admin'
should be
user='admin'"
/usr/bin/mysql -u mailwatch -pMailwatchPWD mailscanner -e "UPDATE users SET password = md5('YourNewUserPassword') WHERE user='YourUsername'"

user=admin'
should be
user='admin'"

Re: Web interface username & password
You still have a blank space between -p and password!?
Re: Web interface username & password
Please keep in mind that the username is the user you gave during the setup.
You can list your users with the command:
To reset use the mentioned reset command.
and ofcourse change yourusername and yourpassword.
You can list your users with the command:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/mysql -u mailwatch -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MAILWATCHSQLPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "select * from users"
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/mysql -u mailwatch -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MAILWATCHSQLPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "UPDATE users SET password = md5('YOURPASSWORD') WHERE user='YOURUSERNAME'"

Re: Web interface username & password
Are you sure your username is 'admin'?
You entered the username during the initial setup, so if you entered something else then you need to use that username instead of 'admin'.
(also you forgot the backticks (`) so the command you entered does not work. )
First try to get a list of your users with the command:
This should output atleast 1 row that contains an username.

Re: Web interface username & password
Do this first
You should get one line back that looks like this:
If you do, type in
it will succeed or fail.
if it fails, do this
You should get back a line like
if you do, type in
If either mysql command works and you are connected to the database, type in this
post those results
Warning: do not post your passwords. We only need the results of the final query, or the results from the mysql command if they both failed.
Code: Select all
cat /etc/EFA-Config |grep SQL|grep MAILWATCHSQLPWD
where XXX...XXX is your mysql password.MAILWATCHSQLPWD:XXX...XXX
If you do, type in
Code: Select all
mysql -umailwatch -pXXX...XXX mailscanner
if it fails, do this
Code: Select all
cat /etc/EFA-Config |grep SQL|grep MYSQLROOTPWD
where YYY...YYY is your mysql root password.MYSQLROOTPWD:YYY....YYY
if you do, type in
Code: Select all
mysql -uroot -pYYY...YYY mailscanner
Code: Select all
select * from users;

Re: Web interface username & password
Hi alkarakiomar
Try the methode pdwalker mentioned,
Looking at the screenshots you have some of the quotes wrong so it is not working the line should be:
Note after the -p it should be a backtick not a quote, same for the last one for mailscanner that is a backtick not a single quote
But try the way pdwalker mentioned, that way you don't have to use the longer command.

Re: Web interface username & password
yeah, until you get the commands typed in properly, it's hard to go forward.
use the commands as I've written them. It'll take a few more steps, but there are fewer changes to make a mistake.

Re: Web interface username & password
Hi,
i have to change the administrator's password, did a try with the command below, but i always receive a error message :
[root@mx2 ~]# /usr/bin/mysql -u mailwatch -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MAILWATCHSQLPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "UPDATE users SET password = md5('my-new-password') WHERE user='adminefa'"
ERROR 1054 (42S22) at line 1: Unknown column 'user' in 'where clause'
Is there a other way to change this password ?
Thanks
Best regards

the fieldname is username and not user

Re: Web interface username & password
show users and passwd's
update password for username: adminefa
TIP.
If you login to mysql -> use mailscanner; -> the update query is much easier. By creating a .my.cnf in your root directory , you can even login without typing (or grepping) passwords.
Code: Select all
mysql -u root -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MYSQLROOTPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "Select username, password from users"
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/mysql -u root -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MYSQLROOTPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "UPDATE users SET password = PASSWORD('mysecretpassword') WHERE username ='adminefa'"

Hi,
i did a try with
/usr/bin/mysql -u root -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MYSQLROOTPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "UPDATE users SET password = PASSWORD('mysecretpassword') WHERE username ='adminefa'"
and now i'm haning with : Bad Username or Password
The password is changed, because the show command show me a other and shorter crypted password ...
Is there a other way, to reset it to the original password ?

Re: Web interface username & password
did the test, to be sure.
Create user tempadm with password dirkjan
Check if user is created ( and show the md5 pwd for 'dirkjan' )
To update a password for user tempadm
After the first time login the password changes in the db.
Check to see the difference
Via Tools and link-> User Management you can change passwords (as user tempadm with password dirkjan is not a secret anymore )

Code: Select all
/usr/bin/mysql -u mailwatch -p`cat /etc/EFA-Config | grep MAILWATCHSQLPWD | sed 's/.*://'` mailscanner -e "INSERT INTO users SET username = 'tempadm', password = MD5('<dirkjan>'), fullname = 'tempadm', type ='A'"

Re: Web interface username & password
Since this is the first hit from Google, updated path and table for 4.x - the MailWatch Settings -> Reset MailWatch Admin did not work for me, presumably due to invalid characters in the password - as best I can tell, I was unable to set a password that contained a single quote (') character but I was unable to grasp that from the error message, so I resorted to the direct method (below, or as per above).
