[SOLVED] Re enable root user

[gamerh]

Hi,

I disabled the root user true the webgui cause i made an new account.

Now the new account can't login to the gui and root does not work either.

I do have IPMI access so i would like to know is there an command or anything i can use to re enable the root user in the webgui?

Regards,
Gamerh

Can I ask how you did this? I have the same issue, but I was unable to access /etc/proxmox-backup/user.cfg. I attempted when using IPMI from the steps found in this video: https://youtu[.]be/4s22pqfgu1c.

Thanks in advance!
