Reset/remove Password On BIOS On SuperMicro MB With Keeping Setting
Jun 21, 2007
it looks like SuperMicro MB H8DME-2 is locked it self. (I set password, and worked fine until few days ago, and password does not work anymore.. and it is locked)
Is there any good way to flush this password with keeping all setting?
restore a VPS onto a different server due to a hardware failure. The new VPS is up and running and I can apache is displaying the cPanel WHM login panel ok. So I know the VPS is fine.
However, my WHM username/password are no longer working.
What options do I have resetting the password for the WHM? I have full access to the shell of the VPS (root access).
I have a xampp install on my Home PC(Windows) for testing scripts. I forgot the password for mysql as didn't use it for while. now Phpmyadmin won't connect.
I use WHM and have a client that lost access to cpanel because the site's owner (an organization) turned over the management of the site to a new person. The previous person never used the site so he forgot the password to get into cpanel and ftp. I can login to the site using my WHM password, but I cannot change his password in cpanel because I don't know the old one. How can reset it?
How can a customer (or admin, for that matter) reset or recover a lost password to the control panel? We don't see an option for this in the current version of PPA.
I am having alot of difficulty trying to setup supermicro IPMI.
I am using motherboard PDSMI+.
Ok, so this is what I did:
1. I flash the IPMI card with the cd-rom that is included. I set the correct IP and MAC address.
2. I then install OpenIPMI-tools
I was able to successfully issue the command locally: ipmitool sensor
but, when I try to connect remotely I always get a connection failed. I tried everything I know, which is nothing and got no progress.
I set the ipaddres and gateway by using this commands: ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr [IPADDR] ipmitool -I open lan set 1 defgw ipaddr [GW IPADDR] ipmitool -I open lan set 1 netmask [NETMASK] ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on
We are using a AdderLink IP which is connected to some AdderView Matrix KVM Switches.
The big problem is, that the AdderLink IP is quite slow switchting to the right screen resolution. This means, I have no chance to access the bios, because before I can press the DELL button to enter the bios, I have to syncronise the screen resolution to get access to the Keyboard and press the DELL button. But the syncronisation takes about 5 seconds and therefore I'm too late pressing the DELL button.
Now I search a better KVM-Over-IP box, which I can connect to my AdderView Matrix KVM Switches. It's very important, that I don't need to synchronise anything before I can use the keyboard.
Can someone recommend such a box which don't need to syncronize at all? Or how are other companies accessing the bios?
I installed 2 SATA raptors drives on my server. I formatted/partitioned one of the drives through WHM. After rebooting both drives disappeared. They are still detected within the BIOS but not in CentOS. It is possible that I installed a wrong driver or made a bad configuration change.
Server Info:
CentOS 4.6 64bit cPanel/WHM Motherboard: [url]OS is running on a 250GB IDE drive 2 SATA WD Raptors (That I am trying to get to work)
ive got a site which auto creates subdomains and installs a script automaticly and inserts details into a mysql db. i have had some issues recent so have loads (talking 100s) of folders that are empty which i need to remove, and to remove the details of said folder from db also. any ideas how i can do this, using plesk control panel so removing the subdomain via plesk cli may be the best way in that respect but the db is external to plesk so that would not be edited
today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.
I was doing a search on google and retrieved some files on it with some sites that should not be available to the public. I investigated the site a little bit and it looked like they are running ASP. I know with Linux servers you can place a .htaccess file which can restrict bots from accessing certain directories, but how can you do it with a windows server running IIS? I would like to get in contact with these companies and let them know about the issues I ran into with their site.
We have a few single CPU (54xx quad core)systems running Hyper-V and looking at the Hyper-V Logical Processer Total value in Perfmon its staying pretty much from 85% to 100% all day long. Perfomance is mostly ok with an occasional hesitation, but the biggest reason is we are trying to avoid doubling the cost of SPLA license by not adding the second CPU. Most motherboards we have only hold 16 gig to 24 gig memory and by adding a second CPU both will probably be less then 40% or 50%
Any problems keeping a 54xx or any CPU for that matter running flat out as long as its cooled OK?
We are in the process of replacing our site & hardware (all co-located servers) and moving to a five server config with 2 Apache servers, 2 MySQL servers and a stage server (where pages are prepared). The Apache servers utilise mod_proxy_balancer and a PHP/MySQL script to connect to either of the MySQL servers which replicate with each other.
The bit I am a bit stuck on is keeping both the Apache servers in sync with eachother in terms of files (pages & images) - has anyone got any suggestions that could help with this?
Ideally, the images would be placed on the stage server and automatically copied to the 2 Apache servers. I did have one idea which was to put the images on one of the MySQL servers and use that as a file store but then if that goes down, we are in the poo so to speak.
I am using a email list manager to keep contact of our client and I need to send few thousand emails to my members occationally. Now I have noticed that gmail, hotmail and others consider you as a spammer if you send too many email.
But my contacts are legitemate. How Can it manage this list fairly?
what's the most practical way to move ALL the content from one domain to another in terms of keeping decent search ranking as well as forwarding to the new domain.
So like say the current URL is:
[url]
And I want it to be:
[url]
So if you went to the example.com version it'd automatically forward to the example.org version and then the search engines would pick up on that and update the URL.
I've got full control over all the DNS zones, nameservers, etc etc...so whatever is the best option I can do it. I just don't know what that best option is.

How can it be determined that multiple domains are "affiliated" with each other? For example, at the link below, on the left side of the page it says that yahoo.com, yahoo.net, and yahooligans.com are owned together. Does this mechanism use WHOIS records, or does it use the IP addresses to which each address resolves (which would only get sites that use named-based virtual hosting to the same IP address, right?)
[url]
If people run multiple sites, say personal and business, and they don't want them to be affiliated, how can they make sure they can’t be linked with each other through such mechanisms?
Basically, my client don't like yahoo as their host for their website, but wants to keep their "Yahoo! Business Mail". How can I do this without doing any "forwarding"?
They will be using Dreamhost to host their website.
I'd like to create a forwarding address, and not have the original account keep the mail - but without having to delete the original account, since I'd like to keep my existing emails.
For instance if the old account is apples@domain.com, I'd like to forward new emails to oranges@new.com, where apples doesn't keep the new emails. Currently in cPanel when I create a forwarder apples@domain.com=>oranges@new.com, new emails are sent to both accounts.
