The old admin password still works after change

Hello,
I change the Plesk admin password, but now, I can access with the old and the new password. How to fix this problem?
I used SSH and the Panel for the change, but problem persists.

Have you tried /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/ch_admin_passwd utility?

John did you resolve this finely?

 

[LittleJohn]

Hello abdi, No
i didn´t solve.
Any suggestions?

Could the second admin user be an SMB user? You can confirm by:

SELECT * FROM  `smb_users`

NB: Backup that table, and try renaming that admin username record in that table and see if that stops the OLD admin user from logging in ...

 

[LittleJohn]

Hello abdi.
admin exists in

smb_users

but with password row empty.
I changed the that admin username but the problem continues: i can acces with old and new admin password.

Hello LittleJohn

Did you find a solution ?
I've got exactly the same problem now : i can access with the old and the new password !!!

 

[LittleJohn]

No, I have not solved, and I think that is a important problem for security.
I hope someone can help. If I find the solution I'll put it here.

LIttleJohn, look at this article : http://kb.parallels.com/en/114625

It just solve my problem.
I had forgotten that I had enabled CMB someday.
Returning to the CMB panel (https://your_domain.com:8443/plesk-billing/admin/) I deleted the admin who had the same old password, and now it is no longer active either in the plesk panel!
I hope it will be the same solution for you!
Excuse me for my broken English.
