Resolved Reset Root Password

[BNB]

Hi

I would like to reset Plesk's root password (or is it the server's root password that I should say?).

I am running CentOS 7 with Plesk and I have SSH access.

Can I do this from Plesk itself? (I would prefer)
Or does it need to be through SSH? If so, please provide the instructions.

Many thanks to all.

At the command line, as root do 'passwd' and it will ask you for your new password.

Superb Igor. Thank you

Hi can you change the root password via cron jobs? Since we have upgraded the server our root password no longer works. We still have control panel access but cannot connect via ssh as the root password we have no longer works.

Related question to the original: changing root password via ssh changes the plesk root password as well?

What do you mean "plesk root password"? Plesk has "admin" account whose password is not related to the system "root" password.
