• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

What command do I need to see the plesk password on my linus server?
 
i got the same problem...

i haven't logged into my Plesk administration interface since about 7 months ago... The reason is that the machine has been running very very stable since I switched to a hoster providing the Plesk server.

Now I want to check some little problem (safe_mode when uploading an image which did not happen before in last 7 months), but I found I forgot the admin username/password pair!

So my questions:

1. Is there any shell command that could revel the adminusername/password pair? I can login with my linux root account. I searched and found that the Windows version Plesk had such a command. How about our linux version?

2. if not, is the information stored in any system file to let me have some clue?

3. is the admin username customizable? I've even forgotten if I changed the default admin username "admin" to sth. else or not.

Please help me! Thanks a lot in advance!
 
got it

1. the admin username is always "admin"
2. the password is stored in "/etc/psa/.psa.shadow"
