Re: How to rest password

If you don't have a "backdoor" (a user able to run "sudo") you need to bring down the running os (see vparreset) and start in single user mode.
For vPars boot an instance in single user mode from a running instance like this:

vparboot -p vParname -o "-is"

run "passwd" once the OS is loaded.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
