KB #1184 - I have lost my administrator password for Sitebuilder, and I can not reset it anywhere. How do I reset Plesk Sitebuilder admin password?

RESOLUTION

For version 2.x

To reset Plesk Sitebuilder v.2.x admin password you should run following command:

# mysql -usb_user -psb_user sitebuilder -e "update sb_users set pswd=password('new_password') where id=1;"

For versions 3.x and 4.x

Your first login is performed with the default Plesk Sitebuilder credentials, if it was clean Plesk Sitebuilder installation but not upgrade from previous version:

User name: admin
Password: admin

If you forgot Plesk Sitebuilder admin password you can reset it with help of 'sb_config' utility

# sb_config --sb_admin_passwd <new_password>

or with following command:

# mysql -u<username> -p<password> <dbname> -e "update user set user_password=md5('<new_password>') where user_name='<admin_login_name>';"

<admin_login_name> - administrator name for Plesk Sitebuilder.
<new_password> - your new password.

<username>, <password>, <dbname> values you can get from SITEBUILDER_ROOT/config
file, as in example:

[database]
password = d7c2592cd6c2228a1b512478b59af12d
dbname = sitebuilder3
username = sitebuilder_db

It is also possible to use "Forgot your password?" feautre which could be accessed on main Plesk Sitebuilder logon screen.
