hello Samuel,
did you solved the changing admin password. I got this error while using the
command .
[root@localhost access_control]# openca-digest sha1 'dash7'
ERROR::Option 'sha1' not understood!
USAGE: openca-digest [-v] [-dgst sha1|md5|crypt] text-to-digest
please let me know where is the mistake in command.
thanks for your help,
