I have Plesk 8.0.1

I can change the FTP passwords of all my users except the admin.

I changed the administration password of plesk, but the ftp password is still not changed. How do i change it?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

To change the password for the system/shell user admin, get a root shell and run the following:


then set the new password for admin when prompted to.

As your goal is to login by ftp, I highly suggest that you not use the same password for the shell user admin as for the plesk user admin. Doing so will mean that you are sending your plesk administrator user/pass through plain text whenever you login by ftp. If you do need to ftp in as the system user admin, you should instead use sftp.

Thank you very much for your help.

This is my first time i'm entering commands. I go to root directory and execute the command;

passwd admin

It says only root can specify a username. What should i do?

Thanks a lot.
