Resetting LDAP and MySQL Passwords
One of the most common problems with installing and starting a service is an incorrect LDAP or MySQL password.
Resetting the LDAP Password
First, we need to make sure that Zimbra is stopped.
Try running:
su zimbra
zmcontrol stop
Just to be safe, you can make sure that all Zimbra services are stopped:
ps auxww | grep zimbra
ps auxww | grep slapd
Kill any left over processes.
Now, we can reset the passwords:
First the root(note: these are run as user zimbra)
zmldappasswd --root '''newpass'''
Next the zimbra:
zmldappasswd '''newpass'''
Make sure you use the same password for both!
''Note: For Zimbra 5.0 and newer, you must start Zimbra with:''
zmcontrol start
And then use the following to change the root user
zmldappasswd -r '''newpass'''
Next the zimbra:
zmldappasswd '''newpass'''
Resetting Mailbox Database Passwords
Make sure mailbox database is running. Run all commands as user ''zimbra''.
This checks for a pid file:
mysql.server status mysql is running with pid 23830
Also use:
ps a | grep mysqld.*my.cnf
'''root account''' Set ''newpassword'' to your desired password.
zmmypasswd --root newpassword
'''zimbra account'''
zmmypasswd newpasswd
Resetting Logger Database Passwords
Make sure mailbox database is running. Run all commands as user ''zimbra''.
ps a | grep mysqld.*my.logger.cnf
'''root account'''
Set ''newpassword'' to your desired password.
zmmylogpasswd --root newpassword
'''zimbra account'''
zmmylogpasswd newpasswd
