New Pleskian
I installed via Plesk ISO (Ubuntu)
Now I lost my root password. How can I reset this?
Thank you!

The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release. -
The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Ok, so we do a trick. (For Ubuntu and Debian)
I will use my old damaged Plesk Installation running on Ubuntu for DEMO (Proxmox QEMU):
1. Reboot Server
2. You should see GRUB Bootloader, Press "e"
3. You need to add on the end of the line what beginns with "linux /boot/vmlinux-(...)" this: "init /bin/bash (See Screenshot: reset 2)
4. After step 3. Press F10 or Ctrl + x to Start.
5. You should have shell access as root now, before we can reset password, we need to mount the filesystem.
6. Type: "mount -o remount,rw /"
7. Now we can reset Root Password: "passwd" and Press enter
8. Type your desired password, it will ask twice.
9. Continue booting to normal with: "exec /sbin/init"
10. You should be able to log in now
Tip: 5,6,7,8 you can see in Screenshot: reset 3
