I've searched though many forum posts about resetting the root password for Proxmox but I seem to be in a debacle because every option keeps hitting a wall. TBH, I should just re-install Proxmox at this point since its outdated. My main dedication is because I have a TrueNAS VM that I created that I wanted to see if I can get back.
I have a desktop and a server that I set up a couple years ago both with Proxmox. They were working fine and probably still do, however I stopped using them for a year and have no idea what the passwords were set too.
The desktop was super easy because it is setup simple and showed me a GRUB menu so I was able to reset the password. However, the server is another situation.
I can only blame myself because I set it up this way. I have two separate PCIe NVMe adapters that are running Proxmox in ZFS Raid 1 (I believe). In order to boot Proxmox, I use Clover Bootloader to select the NVMe drives. It can load the current installed Proxmox fine. When I select the drive from the bootloader, it goes straight to loading Proxmox. There is no GRUB menu. I've tried many things that I can't keep track. The number one thing that was suggested was to use a Live CD to reset the password. However, within the NVMe drives it does not show a Linux partition. It only allows me to mount dev2 but I can't do anything with it as well as the other partitions. Some other post talked about ZFS utility on Ubuntu which I installed but not fully sure what to do with it.
If this can't be resolved, would it be possible to re-install Proxmox and bring over my current drive configurations. I don't want to wipe them if I don't have too, but there's nothing super important on it so it not that big of a deal.
NVMe (1 & 2):
/dev/(name)1 - BIOS boot
/dev/(name)2 - System
/dev/(name)3 - Solaris /usr & Apple ZFS
Server:
Dell PowerEdge R720
BIOS: 2.9.0 (Latest)
Drives: 16 drives (8 for Proxmox VMs // 8 for TrueNAS VM) (Maybe RAID 10 for each set, I don't remember)
Proxmox Version:
Desktop - Updated from 5.1.3 to 7.4
Server - 5.1.3
I'm also open for recommendations for a better storage configurations if they are any. I just like having fault tolerance. Now only if I could implement this mentality into my gaming pc which has none.
