• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Resolved SOS: .psa.shadow empty

JuanCar

Regular Pleskian
Hi
I've empty by accident the /etc/.psa.shadow file and I cant access Plesk
I know this file contains the encrypted admin password and I need to know how recreate it.
I know the password of admin and I can access SSH as root.
Ah! I can not access mysql using this admin accoiunt from console.
Any help?

Thanks but:
I cant access Plesk so I can use this way to reset password.
I cant access database so "Plesk db" returns in an access error

I know my password, I think the easiest way is recreate .psa.shadow, using my password (that must be saved in psa database) but I don't know how is encripted (AES 128 but need more info).
Thabks again
 
What about

# export PSA_PASSWORD='XXXXXX'
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/ch_admin_passwd

?
 
I think this method was for older Plesk,, anywhere what I get is:
MySQL rc script was not found

Thanks
