Tobi4775 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 File system: XFS Hi guys I started out today with the issue that i suddenly no longer could login on Unraid OS PRO V. 6.9.2 After following the manual https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Troubleshooting#Lost_root_Password and deleting the three files config/passwd config/shadow config/smbpasswd i was able to login, however a new issue now occoured all my disks are suddenly unmountable, i therefore tried to go and set a new password for the root user however i just goes back to the old password instantly. After some time i then tried to run the system in Safe Mode, here all files can be access in Unraid but no drive shares work as well no passwords for users are needed. Any ideas how to solve this matter? Quote Link to comment

Tobi4775 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 @trurl Thanks for your quick response. Meanwhile waiting i went ahead and tried fase two. This actually solved the issue - thanks anyway. Quote There is an alternative procedure that can be used for just resetting the root password (but is a little more prone to error): Plug the USB drive into another computer Bing up an editor (such as Notepad++) on the following file: /boot/config/shadow On the first line you should see something such as: root:$&$&%*1112233484847648DHD$%.:15477:0:99999:7::: Change that line to the following (essentially delete the content between the first and second semi-colons): root:15477:0:99999:7::: Plug flash back into server and start up again.
