Server :: Recover Ssh Password On WD Mybook WE II Running Gentoo
Jan 27, 2010
I installed Gentoo on my WD Mybook WE II and im forget/dont know the ssh password. I can access Public shared folder but there is no access to change it. Any idea? I need to log in to mybook via ssh to install anti virus on it.
im having problems connecting mybook 2 with my laptop. Everything was ok and running perfectly and there was no changes in my laptop or upgrades and it stop working. I was not able to see the computers in my network then I fixed it I can see them but when I try to browse the files the OS tells me that is unable to mount location and failed to retrieve share list from server. The funny part is that if I go to Places>Connect to server and type my mybook ip address, my laptop can connect and I can browse the files. I really dont know what is the problem. My firewall is down so I dont think that is the problem. If anyone can help me with these because I know im able to connect to my mybook but i am unable to connect to any other laptop or my WD-Tv live.
I am not seeing what i am doing wrong here, but here goes:
From my server I need to run a command for backup on 25 remote servers (through a script). Now I have pushed the public keys for remote ssh connectivity on all of them and it works ( I can push files using rsync without the need to enter passwords on the remote servers), howver, I need to run the following command:
ssh odsadmin@10.139.111.1 'cp -a /var/www/life /var/www/life-v4'
when I run this command, I keep getting asked to enter the password, I even tried putting sudo in front of the cp, but still get the request to enter the password.
I'm trying to get CUPS running on a Gentoo install. When I try to start it it complains about libgnutls.so.13 not existing. I googled it and updated gnutls to the latest version and tried a sym-link to libgnutls.so.26.11.5, all to no avail.
Ubuntu is installed in dual boot in my machine. I created only one user and unfortunately I forgot the password. is there anyway to recover this password or better have the root password?
I'm trying to install a network printer to my Gentoo workstation, but have never used printing in Linux before and am unsure of how to proceed. I'm stuck in the CUPS web interface based printer adding process, at what device and device URI to set. I have looked through the properties and settings of the printer on the server machine, but couldn't find anything relevant.The printer model is Brother HL-1430, and it's attached with USB to the Windows XP powered printer server and shared to the network. Other (Windows) machines in the network can successfully reach the printer.
I am trying to bring up a third print server. I eventually want to remove printsrv1 since it is gentoo and on old hardware. . I've got the new ubuntu server all configured except for the print driver database.. IEE.. when I try to connnect to a printer from a Windows node it needs me to load the driver.. I've got about 35 printers so I dont' want to do this for each one and I want them to be mirrors of the other 2 with the drivers so there are no conflicts..My question is,,, is there a way to transfer the Samba printer database mappings from one box to another?

SSH asked password for user git. Why ssh should allow me to login as user git? The git user doesn't have a password. The ssh key I created is for the user expert. How this should work?

My daughter has forgotten her password on our desktop system. Note this is not the admin user (me) so I can sudo nautilus to recover her files.

I have a hand-me-down laptop (Thinkpad T400, but this is an OS question, not a hardware question) that I plan to hand down once more to my mom, who is very Linux illiterate and wants to run Windows. The Thinkpad came with XP, but the license key has rubbed off. When I received the Thinkpad, it was running Ubuntu only, and I never bothered to investigate re-installing Windows. Basically, I want to recover the license key so I don't have to blow $150 or however much Windows 7 costs these days. Is it possible to recover the Windows XP license key in Linux after Windows has been wiped from the system?
i got myself in a really dumb position. i upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2 this morning. after restarting it loads up everything and then shows me a login/password prompt. i have forgotten what my login is, i know my password.
I been trying to figure out why after updating to the newest version of ubuntu the system didnt work anymore, but now my main concern is trying to recover files that I had on my computer, how can I do this?
actually i upload a password protect folder software, but unfortunately it was a trial version which i didn't know . now i am unable to recover my files from that.
Can someone assist me with recovering/resetting the password for Root via Single User Mode in CentOS v5? I've modified the kernel line using Single, S, and 1 but it appears that these commands are being totally ignored as the server continues with the boot process and displays the GUI logon screen. The server in question is a VM box running on ESX v3.5 U4. The person that created this VM is no longer employed here and I've exhausted everything I know regarding Single User Mode.
