• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • 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.

View passwords

New Pleskian
Hi guys
Have a new VPS. Plesk (v12) is new to me too.

When setting up webspaces, I have to take note of admin passwords. There doesn't seem to be a way within Plesk to view the passwords I have already setup.

IE I can only reset them - not view passwords I have already set.
Thanks
 
Hi edenweb,

the passwords are stored with encryption in the psa - database, as you can see with:

mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa

followed by the SQL search in MySQL:
Code:
SELECT accounts.id, mail.mail_name, accounts.password, domains.name FROM domains LEFT JOIN mail ON domains.id = mail.dom_id LEFT JOIN accounts ON mail.account_id = accounts.id;

for a request to only one specific domain, you might use the command:
Code:
SELECT accounts.id, mail.mail_name, accounts.password, domains.name FROM domains LEFT JOIN mail ON domains.id = mail.dom_id LEFT JOIN accounts ON mail.account_id = accounts.id where domains.name='EXAMPLE-DOMAIN.COM';
