Can't login to Mailscanner after initial OVF install

After installing via the OVF file and running through the configuration I am not able to log into the admin console. I get bad user name or password. This is on the web front end.

How can I reset the web admin password to continue setting up the system?

Thanks in advance.

Should be the same as your "normal" EFA user.

But if that doesn't work...

look in /etc/EFA-Config for MYSQLROOTPW

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/mysql -u root -pMYSQLROOTPW mailscanner -e "INSERT INTO users SET username = 'MYADMINUSER', password = md5('MYPASSWORD'), fullname = 'MYADMINUSER', type ='A'"
Where
MYSQLROOTPW is your MySQL root password,
MYADMINUSER is the name of your admin user you want
MYPASSWORD is your secure and complex password
