Programmatically Set Admin Password?

With Polyscope 5.17 requiring an admin password to be set to access some of the settings such as installing URCAPs, is there a way to programmatically set this to a default? Not a huge deal if not, we can just manually set each one before they ship from our facility but it would save us this step if we can do it via a magic file for example.

Hi @eric.feldmann,
For sure you can use console to log into root via ssh and then change admin password, but I guess it can take more time than just change it from the polyscope. :smile:

Maybe some of developers from community will develop sh file to automatically change the password someday. :wink:

Best,

Yeah how do you change it via ssh? If it can be done using the Linux terminal then I can write the magic file, I just don’t know the commands

Hi @eric.feldmann,

Just log into root via ssh like ssh root@ip_address → use default password easybot to log in and then change password using sudo passwd root and then write new password twice. It should work. :wink:

Hope it helps,
Wojciech

'+ don’t forget to share the file you create with us ! :smiley:
