Recover Lost Plesk Password Windows - Plesk x64 and 9.x update lost password

This may be beyond some of you, but for those who have lost their plesk password and still have access the server you can get the password fairly easily.

Open a command prompt.

==
Start >> Run >> cmd
==

at the prompt type/copy/paste the following.

==
"C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\plesksrvclient.exe" -get
==


This will pop a window with the current Plesk Password.

Is this a security risk?? Maybe, but if someone has access the server, you are already at risk.. ;)

udpate : 6-24-10

If you are using an x64 version of windows, and a newer version of plesk, the path will be a bit different

==
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\plesksrvclient.exe" -get
==

If it is a newer version of plesk but on a 32bit, the path would be.

==
"C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\plesksrvclient.exe" -get
==

hope it helps!
