How to change admin password from GUI?

Distro Discussion & Help
1

Hello,

I read this http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FPG/Administrators+Module+User+Guide
but FreePBX GUI do not have “Administrators” item in Admin menu.

2

Newer versions of FreePBX use the User Management module which is documented at http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FPG/User+Management+Module+User+Guide

3

But I do not see user “admin” in Admin - User Management menu

4

The ‘admin’ user is actually for local connections and is usually found in the “Asterisk Manager Users” under Settings.

5

but I do not see user “admin” under Settings - Asterisk Manager Users

6

Is this a FreePBX Distro install?

7

Yes .

I dont think you are using FreePBX Distro. Sounds like you are using PIAF maybe.

FreePBX do not ask any login/password when i open web interface for administration

17

Settings, Advanced Settings, Authorization Type

18

Settings -> Advanced Settings
do not have “Authorization Type” option

19

Settings, Advanced Settings enable both ‘Display Readonly Settings’ and ‘Override Readonly Settings’

This really smells like PIAF, but do you have a file at /etc/pbx/runonce or a file at /etc/pbx/httpdconf/pbx.conf and can you paste its contents for us if they exist on your system? :wink:
