Reset Password

If you've forgotten your server's root password, you can quickly reset it via the control panel.

Steps​

  1. Log in to GoMami, go to the server control panel
  2. Click the Options tab
  3. Select the Password sub-tab
  4. Choose the user to reset (root / Administrator)
  5. Click Reset to confirm. The new password will be sent to your account email

Options Tab

caution

Password reset requires the server to be running. If the server is off, start it first.

Password Requirements​

For security, passwords should meet:

  • At least 8 characters
  • Include uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Include numbers
  • Special characters recommended
tip

We strongly recommend using SSH keys instead of passwords for login — more secure and no passwords to remember.

After Reset​

After resetting:

  1. Connect via SSH with the new password: 
    ssh root@your_server_ip
  2. Enter the new password to log in

If Password Reset Doesn't Work​

In some cases, panel password reset may not take effect immediately (e.g., if the OS has disabled password login). Try:

  1. Log in via VNC — Use the VNC console for direct access
  2. Use Rescue Mode — Manually change the password via rescue mode
  3. Reinstall OS — If nothing else works, reinstall the system

Via API​

# Reset root password
curl -X POST https://cp.gomami.io/api/server/{id}/reset-password \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"password": "<new_password>"}'
