Asterisk via putty

Postby shane2018 » Wed Mar 21, 2018 11:11 pm

Hi

Please someone help me. We have been using vicidial for a while and we were using putty to maintain the asterisk. We have misplaced our login details for putty. How do we retrieve it or change the password?

Try this:
1. Press 'e' at the boot menu for edit mode
2. Find the line starting with "linux" and append (with one space) " init=/bin/sh" at the end
3. Press F10 for reboot
4. Now you are in a linux environment without password request and you should be able to change the password with typing: passwd

Another way is to change the password with booting from a live CD. There are many descriptions on the internet (e.g. https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3003803)

Your installation method and version are essential to answer this question. Note that "putty" is a remote console access tool. The same password will be used at the local keyboard/monitor when directly accessing the server.

While there are hacking methods that can be used to access a vicidial server if you have Web GUI access, the only guaranteed method to crack the root password is directly at the console with physical access to the server.
