• 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.

Dear Senior members,

My ISP help me to installed a Plesk and it seems running properly.

However, when I check the rpm, it seems that it is not installed as in the installation manual expected.

The password that the ISP given to me seems not accessible through SSH.

On the otherhand, the web admin account and SSH for other users seems work perperly.

May I know how I can login the server with SSH or retrieve the root password from the server?

Thanks very much!

most likely they ahve disabled direct root login and you ahve to login as a different user and then su to the root.

In order to restore a root password you have to reboot the machine into single user mode - this is something most remote users can not do and should have their ISP do it.
