Yes. Its possible to recover your lost/forgotten Plesk password. Plesk uses a utility called plesksrvclient.exe. It is located in the "adminbin" folder of your Plesk installation directory.

The first step is to connect via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). Click on Start, choose Run then type there:

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

I'll show teach you how to change the Plesk interface logo. The logo is visible to the admin and clients.

It's easy. Here's how:

1. Log in to Plesk as administrator.
2. On the Server Administration page, click Logo Setup.
3. Click Browse. A local file browser window displays.
4. Select the logo image file from your local computer, and click Open.
5. In the Enter new URL for logo text box, type in the URL of the Web site you want the image to link to.
6. Click OK.

Hope that helps.

On my Trixbox setup, I was able to fix the hangup problem on a Wildcard TDM400p card by adding the following lines on zapata.conf:

busydetect=yes
busycount=4

Earlier, we we're unable to access the Plesk Control Panel for the admin and clients. It doesn't show the login page or the usual error Page cannot be displayed.

Cause:

Offline management was disabled.

From Parallels KB,

Virtuozzo Power Panel has the following login mechanisms:
If
OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT parameter is set to "yes", VZPP accepts the VE "root" login
with the corresponding password when connecting to VE IP address.
If
OFFLINE_MANAGEMENT is enabled and Plesk Control Panel is installed in the VE -
loging in the VE using Plesk credentials (user admin with the corresponding
password) is supported on the VE IP address. In this case, however, the
management capabilities available via web interface are limited.

The Service VE administrative credentials (user vzagent0 with the
corresponding password) are supported as well. Upon administrative login all the
VEes on the Node are manageable.When offline management is on for a VE and the
VE has Plesk installed, Plesk panel interface works via Service VE (in other
words, port 8443 is forwarded to Service VE). In this case some additional
Virtuozzo-related functionality is added to Plesk interface.

Solution:

Enable offline management.

1. Go to the hardware node using your favorite ssh client. E.g. putty.exe

2. Type:

vzctl set (node id) --offline_management yes --save

Example. If the node ID is 101 then type:

vzctl set 101 --offline_management yes --save

That's it. You should now be able to access the Plesk control panel.

While I was setting up this machine for a Trixbox project, I've encountered an error during the first bootup of the machine. My machine was an ASUS P5PE-VM motherboard,socket 775 with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigs of memory.

Intel CPU uCode loading error

Press F1 to resume...

Solution:

UPDATE BIOS.

Go get the latest BIOS update from support.asus.com.

1. Download the latest BIOS Update. ( It is important that you download the BIOS update that matches your motherboard's model.)

Download - P5PE-VM - Version 1501

2. Save the downloaded file on a floppy disk.

3. Boot from the boards Support Cd. Browse the floppy disk.

4. To obtain a backup of your latest Bios settings, type:

afudos /0filename

5. Finally to update the BIOS, type:

afudos /ifilename <-- Type here the filename of the BIOS Update. It ends with a .rom file.

Important: The machine should not be restarted while the update is running.

After the update, restart. You should now boot with no problem.
