Hi Jerry, Getting the admin password for Rivendell is actually a lot easier then it seems. At least on my builds the password is stored in plain text in mysql. Chances are your build is the same.
First, start up a shell and check what the Rivendell database, MySQL user name and password is in your /etc/rd.conf file. Easiest way is: grep -i 'hostname\|loginname\|password\|database' /etc/rd.conf It'll say something like: Hostname=192.168.0.40 Loginname=rduser Password=letmein Database=Rivendell Then, from the command prompt (substitute your user name, hostname / ip address, password, and database name) mysql -u rduser -h 192.168.0.40 -p Rivendell It'll ask you for your password, in this example it'll be the letmein At the mysql> prompt, copy / paste the following: SELECT `LOGIN_NAME`, `PASSWORD` FROM USERS; It'll list you the Rivendell user names and passwords on the system, one of them should be admin. Example: +------------+----------+ | LOGIN_NAME | PASSWORD | +------------+----------+ | admin | 12345 | | user | | +------------+----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Just type exit to get out of mysql. If it says something like "no database selected" you might need to give it a: use Rivendell; command (or substitute the name of your database you got from your /etc/rd.conf file) That should give you the info to get into rdadmin Hope this helps.
