Recover Lost Plesk Password Linux

Don't think I forgot you linux folks, though If you are in linux you may already know this also. :)

If you lost your Plesk Password and you are using a Linux Server you can do the following if you still have access to the server via SSH and can either su or login as root


1 . Open a connection to the server.

2 . su into root or log in as root.

3. cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow


This will give you the current Plesk Password in plain text.

Once again is this a security risk?? NO!! if they have root, then that's a bigger issue!! :)
