Reset Login and Password for Web on ZimaOS

-

 

To reset a forgotten ZimaOS web login, connect a keyboard and monitor, power on your device, and press Alt + F2 to enter the command line. Log in as root, then run the command passwd-root to set a new password. Another method is to connect the ZimaCube to a monitor and keyboard and run the user reset command rm -fr /var/lib/casaos/db/user.db followed by a restart to initialize ZimaOS and create a new account. [1, 2, 3]

Method 1: Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

This method is ideal if you have direct access to your Zima device with a keyboard and monitor. [1]

This video demonstrates how to reset the password using the command line interface: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Rsu9h7Z44

  2. Enter Setup Mode: Power on the device and press Alt + F2 to access the command line. [1, 2]
  3. Log in as Root: At the prompt, type root and press Enter. You may not need a password for the first login. [1, 2]
  4. Set a New Root Password: Enter the command passwd-root and follow the prompts to set a new strong password for the root user. [1, 2]
Method 2: Deleting the User Database (Factory Recovery)

This method effectively resets the account and allows you to set up a new user and password, similar to factory recovery instructions, according to Fullmetalbrackets. [3, 4]

  Clearing DNS cache on vCenter Server Appliance 6.5/6.7 - Just Virtualise It (kanecharles.com) I came across a situation recently where I was building some nested ESXi hosts and had configured the incorrect IP address for their DNS record, only to realize this after attempting to add the host into Center:  By attempting to add the host, vCenter will query your DNS servers for the IP address associated with the FQDN you have supplied (assuming you did this method, not via IP address). If you have set the wrong IP on your DNS server for the above FQDN record, you have 2 options: Wait a short while for vCenter to clear the cache entry for this FQDN, thus allowing you to add the host with the correct IP from the DNS record Clear the DNS cache on your vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) vCSA 6.5 upwards runs on Photon OS with dnsmasq acting as a local caching nameserver (thank you to Brandon for the comment to clarify). Enough rambling, so how do we do it? If you’re anything like...
