Reset Dedicated Server Password In rescue Mode

This system enables you to handover in ssh on the machine and also to check the hardware.
The advantage is that it is not necessary to contact support to schedule an intervention, because with rescue-mode you can run tests when it's best for you, and when it doesn't disturb the use of your server.

Software & Administration
  • launch a fsck / e2fsck
  • consult and analyse logs
  • correct problems on softs
  • rebuild / check the RAID
  • backup the data
Hardware
  • memtest: to check the memory ( RAM )
  • cpuburn: to check your processor ( CPU )
  • fsck to check the file system
  • state to check the disk
  • explorer for your files


If one of the tests fails or shows errors, just log into the manager: Support section and then submit an incident. Simply send the result of your test, for example: server crashed during the cpu test.We will immediately intervene to replace your hardware.


TO RESET SERVER PASSWORD


Go to Manager => Power => Netboot => Rescue =>rescue pro(choose) => BOOT NOW, then hard reboot the server. After some minutes, you can access via ssh the machine with the new codes sent by mail. On the server, you can type in order to list the partition scheme:


fdisk -l 

the root one is marked with an asterisk. Thus now you can use the following command to mount the root partition:
mount /dev/yourrootpartition /mnt
Then, to use your partition type the command:
chroot /mnt 
Then type the command:
passwd root
type the new password at the prompt request.


For Windows, you boot it into WinPE and then access via VNC and click on the Password Icon to change it.
