cant login in my proxmox after updated [HELP]

[roycordero]

Hello pals, I have a problem for a few days that has become uncomfortable, and it is that I have my proxmox server with several lxc and vm that has been running without problems for 1 year, but because I have been away from home for a long time, I had not updated and had the version proxmox ve 7.2-11 and 1 week ago I came home and the first thing I did was an apt update apt upgrade I update everything normally and without problems but now I get this error



but obviously I have not changed the password, and in the terminal does run without problems





aparently all my vm and lxc seem to be without problems too... Could someone help me figure out why this is happening please?

Any error in journal? Did you force-reload the page? Did you select the correct realm (if root, it should be pam)?

no error occurred during the update or after... actually it has always been very stable... the only change made was the update made on 02/06 through the web interface and at the end everything was without problems and then at the days of wanting to enter (approx since 02/20 it started) this error came out, that is why I argue that from that on it was the error

yes its PAM... but ive tried and it doesnt work in any PAM or Proxmox VE authentication server, but ive always use pam

i get the log here

I have tried to enter from my other devices of daily use as well and even from cell phones and nothing always gives errors

@roycordero dont know if its relevant but try login as admin@pam (see pic below) , this could be normal not sure to be honest, but maybe try logging in with admin@pam just to see if that works. its worth a try anyway

 

[roycordero]

wtf! Sorry for my language so colorful but what witchcraft is this? I have never used admin as a login, even in my bitwarden it is always saved as root and I did not change my login... but effectively instead of root I used admin and I entered without problem, I have already checked and everything seems to be correct

Could someone explain to me why I changed the root login to admin? Is it normal after an update made several months later? Or should I check passwords and security vpns etc?

glad to hear it worked for you

 

[roycordero]

I really appreciate your help man, i was kind of pulling my hair off but thanks I would never have been able to enter,

but this change worries me, especially because I don't know if it is something normal or a vulnerability of something

yeah its a weird one alright, maybe check your user account or accounts in proxmox , for example does an admin@pam one exist? maybe check is the root account enabled/disabled for example but not sure even if that is possible.
