Dear all
unfortunately, after the install of FreePBX 17 a while ago (before I got sick..), I forgot the username and password I’ve set for the web gui administration.
I can still log in with the command line, is there an easy way to reset the username and password for the web gui admin?
Thanks a lot.

You can use the fwconsole unlock command to resolve this issue.
The fwconsole unlock command will unlock the GUI login to let you into the FreePBX GUI without the username and password.
You need to replace the xxxxxxx with your PHP session ID.
Follow the steps below.
Bring up the main login page to FreePBX in your browser.
Do a “ctrl a” to highlight the whole page and look to the left center of the screen for some text. This is your unique php session ID.
Copy this into your clipboard.
Go into the linux CLI and type the following command replacing the session ID below with your own.
fwconsole unlock {your php session id}
After that, refresh your browser page and it will log you in this one time automatically for you based on that php session ID. Now you can go add or change the FreePBX admin users, or change your password.
