Hey,

Try "root@localhost" as the username and the default password as "root"

if you really want to reset the root password
from the command line interface, locate for the shell script provided by the otrs only

"OTRS_HOME/bin/otrs.SetPassword.pl root@localhost password123"

after this you would be able to login via web with the user "root@localhost" password "password123"

I finally gave up on Turnkey OTRS.
I took a fresh Ubuntu10 machine and got the "source" install.
I got the thing up and running (kind of)

I know that when it asked me for the root password I typed the right thing.

I cant log into this thing via the web.
I tried root, admin, otrs
To no avail.
I clicked on "forgot password" but that wont help because there is something
wrong with the mail setup.

Am I "bricked" again?
Is there ANY salvage?
Its taken me a whole day to get this far and I REALLY DON'T want to wipe the
machine and start all over.

How can I ssh into the machine and use the shell to set the web password for
root ?
