Lost pbs password help. Can I recover it from PVE?

[Fabio]

In my proxmox I have configured a storage that points to a proxmox backup server. I forgot the password I entered at the time, the backups are starting but I would like to access PBS. In my proxmox, is there in any configuration file the possibility to recover the password which is not visible in the graphical interface?
Can you help me please?

Check the *.pw files in the directory /etc/pve/priv/storage/. If you did not use an API-Token, it probably contains the password of the user for your PBS.

EDIT: If you have physical access to the PBS, then you can uses the usual Linux ways to boot and change the root password (and with that other passwords).
