3cx wrong password

[shortcirciut]

Guys, I know this was discussed a 100 times, but I am stuck.

My Login console is saying that login is denied because of too many incorrect logins.
As I have still access to the CLI ( this is a debian install ) can I change the password ?

PS. I cannot get the forgot password option, and I am sure I am trying to login with the right username.

Thanks in advance

No, you cannot reset password from command line.

BUT ;
1. You can make a command line 3CX backup
2. then open the backup (ZIP File)
3. Open a specific file with NotePad++,
4. you will be able to see the username and password.

In the root of the ZIP folder it will have an .XML file.
Its name is random but ends with Db.

Once open, look for the following parameters :

     <Parameter>
            <Description>The admin pass</Description>
            <Name>WEBSERVERPASS</Name>
            <Type>String</Type>
            <Value>***OBFUSCATED***</Value>
        </Parameter>
        <Parameter>
            <Description>The admin ID</Description>
            <Name>WEBSERVERUSER</Name>
            <Type>String</Type>
            <Value>***OBFUSCATED***</Value>
        </Parameter>
