What Should I Do If the Password Cannot Be Reset After I Use a Private Linux Image to Create a FlexusL Instance or Change the OS of an Existing FlexusL Instance and I Know the Initial Password of the Private Image?
Symptom
After I use a private Linux image to create a FlexusL instance or change the OS of an existing instance, I cannot log in to the server in the instance by resetting the password. If the private image is created from a server on another cloud platform or downloaded from a third party, the image may not have the password reset plug-in installed, so the password reset function is unavailable.
- If you know the password for logging in to the server created from the private image or whose OS is changed using the private image, install the plug-in by referring to the content in this section. After the plug-in is installed, you can reset the password.
- If you forgot the server login password, see What Should I Do If the Password Cannot Be Reset After I Use a Private Linux Image to Create a FlexusL Instance or Change the OS of an Existing FlexusL Instance and I Forgot the Initial Password of the Private Image? After the plug-in is installed, you can reset the password.
Procedure
- Log in to the FlexusL instance server as user root.
- Run the following command to check whether CloudResetPwdAgent has been installed:
Check whether the command output is similar to that shown in Figure 1.
- If yes, the plug-in has been installed. No further actions are required.
- If no, the plug-in has not been installed. Go to the next step.
- Obtain the one-click password reset plug-in CloudResetPwdAgent.zip and verify its integrity (Linux).
There is no special requirement for the directory where the plug-in should be stored.
- Decompress CloudResetPwdAgent.zip.
There is no special requirement for the directory where the CloudResetPwdAgent.zip should be decompressed.
unzip -o -d Decompressed directory CloudResetPwdAgent.zip
Example:
If the plug-in is decompressed to /home/linux/test, run the following command:
unzip -o -d /home/linux/test CloudResetPwdAgent.zip
- Install the password reset plugin.
- Open the CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux file.
cd {Plug-in decompressed directory}/CloudResetPwdAgent/CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux
Example:
If the plug-in is decompressed to /home/linux/test, run the following command:
cd /home/linux/test/CloudResetPwdAgent/CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux
- Grant the execute permission to the setup.sh file.
chmod +x setup.sh
- Install the plug-in.
If "cloudResetPwdAgent install successfully." is displayed and "Failed to start service cloudResetPwdAgent" is not displayed, the installation is successful.
NOTE:
If the installation failed, check whether the installation environment meets requirements and try to install the plug-in again.
- Open the CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux file.
- Modify file permissions for the password reset plug-in.
chmod 700 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/bin/cloudResetPwdAgent.script
chmod 700 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/bin/wrapper
chmod 600 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/lib/*
After the preceding operations are complete, restart the FlexusL instance on the console and then you can reset the password. For more information, see Resetting the Password of a FlexusL Instance.
