Topic: Unable to log in to horde with admin account

[CharlieBrady]

Do I need to reboot the server and use " single" or I can just use "passwd root" "passwd admin" in console.

No, and yes.

If I don't need to use " single", do I need to reboot after using "passwd root" "passwd admin".

No.

[CharlieBrady]

Yes, reboot toget into single user mode and reset after changing passwords.

That's only required if you don't know the current root password.

I sync my password. Still no change in horde.

I cannot restart my server right now, but I was thinking of trying "signal-event post-upgrade" "signal-event reboot". In this bug http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6139 it seem to have fix the problem.

"The problem is your horde DB passwords are not in sync"

In the meantime, I did a restore of the server in a VM(I use a 1 week old backup)(I restore on a fresh 7.5.1 install) to see if I could fix the problem on that VM.
After the restore none of my password where working and I had to use http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Reset_the_root_and_admin_password. After the pasword reset, I could login to horde with the admin account on the VM.

But I have a new problem. The restore didn't restore /etc/passwd. In "/home/e-smith/files/users" and server-manager all my users are there but I cannot reset there password. I get a white screen.

I have tried all the solution above and its still cant login to horde with the admin account.

Edit: For the restore that doesn't work, I will create another post or a bug. I don't think its related.

Hi,

I still haven't found a way to solved this.

Problems:

• The admin account cannot log to the webmail.
• When I do a restore of the server, the passwords for the users aren't restored.

I tried:

• Changing the admin password
  
• Restarting the server
• Updating the server

Thanks,
