Linux OS level root password lost/forgotten need help

[Doug Holcombe]

Hello,

I installed 3cx via the 3cx Linux ISO on to my hardware. I did that and selected a admin/root password when setting it up. I have somehow lost and forgotten that password. Is there any way possible to figure out what that password is? Or is there a way to reset it?
So to be clear this is the password for the Linux OS level root user.

Thank you

Doug Holcombe

Hello @Doug Holcombe

Not sure that there is a way to retrieve the root password for linux. Certainly there is no way to do so from the PBX. I would recommend also asking this in the Debian forums as this is a Debian related question.
