Recover lost administrator password

If you have lost your administrator password here are two ways of recovering it.

A

This alternative requires that you have a user that has shell log in activated.

1. Log in via SSH with your user.
   
2. Become root with the command su (password 'excito').
   
3. Type the command 'passwd admin'.
   
4. Now enter a new password (retype it when asked for).
5. Done!

B

If you do not have a user with shell access do like this.

1. Download the latest install image: B3: update.excito.net/install/latest/b3 or B2: update.excito.net/install/latest/bubba-two/
   
2. Unzip the downloaded zip file to a USB stick, there will be a catalog named 'install' in the root.
3. In the catalog 'install' you will find a file called 'bubba.cfg', open it with an editor. Use for example www.contexteditor.org/ or www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html. Using Windows Notepad or Wordpad will destroy the file. Edit the line DO_INSTALL to the following:
   

DO_INSTALL=0

1. Shut down your unit and unplug the power cord.
   
2. Insert your USB stick into one of the ports on your unit.
3. Keep the button on the backisde pressed while inserting the power cord. Keep it pressed for five seconds and then release it.
