Resetting postfixadmin password

by on Mar.15, 2011, under Sysadmin

I had a client using postfixadmin but no one knew the password.  Simple enough to go into the db to reset:

dovecotpw -s MD5-CRYPT -p password | sed ‘s/{MD5-CRYPT}//’

Then in the database:

update admin set password=’CRYPTED PASSWORD” where username=’USERNAME’;

I found how to do this here:

    If running Ubuntu 11.1 you have to use:

    doveadm pw -s MD5-CRYPT -p password | sed ‘s/{MD5-CRYPT}//’
