Recently I published an article How to Enable Advanced WordFence Protection on OpenLiteSpeed? Eventually, I realized that some users were trying to access the OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin, but they lacked a password, and I completely missed the instructions for changing the password. As I mentioned in that article, I had intended to include this. However, as I realized later, it is a common need of many users to reset the OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin password as well.
In this article, I will explain how to reset the OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin password from the command line and access port 7080. Follow this few steps process and reset your password.
Step1: Login to root SSH:
In the first step, you have to log in to your server ssh using any ssh client-like bitvise. Must log in as root.
Step2: Reset OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin Password:
To reset the OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin password first of all you have to migrate to this directory
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc
To navigate in this directory use the command below:
cd /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc
After navigating to this directory, now execute admpass.sh using command below:
./admpass.sh
Step3: Set Password:
Once you run the above command terminal will ask you to set the username, default is admin.
Provide admin and after that, it will ask to set a password for OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin and then confirm that password. In the end, a success message will appear.
All done you can use this password to access OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed WebAdmin on port 7080 now.
https://<IP>:7080
Note: Replace <IP> with actual IP of your server.
