How to find the admin password of plesk server?

Irrespective of the password reminder available on the login screen, we can use the following methods to retrieve plesk Admin Password.

For Linux:

#cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

This will provide the  current admin password in an un-encrypted form.

For Windows:

If we have  RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol ) access to the windows  server, we can use the plesksrvclient.exe utility located in %plesk_bin% folder to set up a new password or retrieve the old one.

We can retrieve the current password by running this utility with:

“%plesk_bin%plesksrvclient” -get

We can also set new admin password by running the following command:

“%plesk_bin%plesksrvclient” -set true
