Reset the OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console password

caution rootLiteSpeeddebian, ubuntu

Caution: This command changes the system. Understand what it does before you run it.

root@server
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/admpass.sh

Interactively asks for a username and new password and overwrites the credentials of the WebAdmin console, which runs on port 7080 by default. The old password is not required. Afterwards the console should only be reachable from trusted networks.

Note: The script also exists on LiteSpeed Enterprise, but on Plesk with the LiteSpeed extension, management usually happens through Plesk itself.
