View 3 RepliesI am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

Specifically, can this be done on CentOS 4?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just bought a new Acer 23" 1920x1080 flatscreen. I used to have an old fashioned 1280x1024 flatscreen.Now the problem is, every single time when I log on Ubuntu resets my screen res. to 1280x1024. So every time I have to use the Nvidia Settings to set my screen res to 1920x1080 and every time I have to place my panel widgets back in the right place and order, because of that, which is quite annoying.GDM has no problems though, it always displays in the right resolution.I use a Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card and the nvidia-current driver on Ubuntu 10.04 i386. I cannot use the Gnome monitors manager to set my resolution. Every time it sends me to Nvidia Settings.This is my Xorg.conf;
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Fri Apr 9 10:35:18 UTC 2010

I manually reset my router to defaults. Then I changed my router default password, SSID, passphrase, and disabled remote management. I used:
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
security on the router. When attempting to connect, I use the "WPA & WPA2 Personal" option. This is really strange. I can see the SSID on both my laptops, but I can only connect with one now.
how can I create a shell script for ssh where I don't have to type the password manually?I have learned expect command and I have tried multiple examples, but it didn't work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a lost password on an Intel DG33TL motherboard which I guess is only resetable by shorting the right jumpers on the board. I have two questions regarding that:
1- Is there any way I can reset the CMOS password through the CentOS? Or is that a thing of old motherboards where one could reset them through the OS?
2- Currently I have two hard drives installed in Raid1 (mirroring each other) through the motherboard RAID (not the through any RAID card or through CentOS). RAID was made prior to installing CentOS. So, would resetting the jumper mess up the whole RAID? I don't want trouble and I can leave without the password but it's good to know if need arises.
I have inherited a Compaq Armada 1592DMT that has Debian GNU/Linux (tiny) on its hard drive. After bootup there is a dialog box asking for login & password. Two things I have no way of answering. So how do I recover them? I do not have the faintest idea how Debian Linux works, nor how to Bash Grubs, I'm just an old Windows button pusher.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a webserver with apache, mysql and php on a old pentrium 4 computer. When I tried to setup my MySQL password, I created a password with punctuation in it. MySQL didn't want the password and gave some error about BASH. I tried changing my password again but now I constantly get the error that I am unable to login. I tried all the possibilities with the password I entered before but i just can't login to MySQL anymore. I found some help sites on how to reset your password by running MySQL in the safe mode but that didn't work for me. Can anyone help me resetting my password? Next time i'll use a pass without punctuation Every help is much appreciated! BTW, I also tried uninstalling MySQL with yum (yum remove mysql) and it uninstalled, but when I installed it again the password was still there

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Debian Linux. I completely forgot the username and password to log on. I looked on the internet to find a way to reset those, but all the solutions involve making a boot disk or using some peripheral. The computer I am using does not have any peripherals (only keyboard and screen) because it's an onboard computer in a robot.
Is there a way to reset the password and username without using peripherals (and without losing the information on the hard disk)?
