System Details

The requested URL /server-manger was not found on this server.

It is almost as if the admin account does not exist anymore

PR,

Have you tried to open an ssh console and login as "admin" with "admin" (=root) password ?

I doubt that the admin account got lost but you could always look in /etc/passwd for

Code: [Select]

admin:x:101:101:e-smith administrator:/home/e-smith:/sbin/e-smith/console
...which shows you where "to start" the "missing" console namely

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/console
Regards
Reinhold
