Applicable to:

  • SolusVM 2

Symptoms 

After recent update to version 2.0.0-35708, password reset on VPS is not working, no email sent, nor you get a popup with the new password in admin area.

Cause

SolusVM 2 bug with ID SVM2-6228. The fix is in progress.

Resolution

As a workaround:

  1. Take the VPS UUID from Solusvm2 UI or from console

    # virsh list

  2. Conver the password you want to base64 representation:

    # echo -n "123456" | base64 - transforms password "123456" into base 64 string

  3. The output should be like: MTIzNDU2 - copy this output
  4. Set the password with the command:

    # virsh qemu-agent-command <UUID> '{"execute":"guest-set-user-password","arguments":{"username":"root","password":"<base64 encoded output>","crypted":false}}'

    Note: For Windows machines, please change "username":"Administrator"
