Master Password Reset

This script is now included in new installs of PBX in a Flash. If you want to update your existing PBX in a Flash install with the latest scripts please click here.
Because of some security enhancements everyone who has run this script in the past should download the latest and rerun it. Either as below or run the Update Scripts program and it will install it automatically. You will still need to run it form the command line.
The master-passwd program will do the following:
- Alter webmin so you can log into it using user root and the password you entered during the installation of PBX in a Flash
- Change FreePBX authentication to none so you do not need to use the admin/admin password. It will also fully implement .htaccess which will allowyou to use your maint password to log into freepbx. One less password to remember!
- Set the passwords of users maint, amp, and meetme to the same password you enter
This is simply a quick fix script which still has room for improvement. It is not recommended you leave production machines with all critical passwords being the same.
