in this video I will demonstrate how to
reset the username and password used to
access Polish route network shutdown
version 3.0 and above if the username or
password are unknown after opening the
Pollard interface I will enter what I
think to be the proper username and
password as you can see I receive the
invalid username a password error
message to reset the user name or
password I will edit the pcs config del
ini file please note that the username
used to access powerchute must match the
user name the powerchute we use to
communicate with the network management
card as an example when I login to a
network management card that is running
firmware version 5.1.1 or above under
the heading of configuration shutdown I
will finally use a name that has been
assigned to communications with power
should Network shutdown this is the
username that I must enter for use with
powerchute network shutdown if your
network management kata is running
firmware older than five one seven then
the username used for polishing network
shutdown must match the username use to
log into the network management card the
password used for polishing network
shutdown is unique to powerchute and
does not need to match the network
management card as mentioned earlier to
reset the username and password I must
edit the pcs config dot ini file on a
Windows system if powerchute has been
installed to the default path I will
find the pcs config.ini file in c
program files a pc paolo shoot group one
here I will find the pcs config tat ini
file before I edit the pcs config dot
ini file I must stop the powerchute
service on a Windows system I will open
a command prompt as an administrator and
type a net stop PC ns1 I will see that
the power food service is being stopped
once the powerchute service has been
stopped I can then open the PC NS config
dot ini file my favorite text editor
under the heading of network management
card I will open a new line and then to
use a name
space equals and then to the username I
would like to use since I'm also unsure
of the password I went to passwords
space equals and then to the password I
would like to use
I will now save the file close the file
once the file has been saved and closed
I can then go back to the command prompt
and enter net start PC ns1 to restart
the powerchute service after restarting
the powerchute service if I open the PC
NS config dot ini file I will see that
the lines username equals and password
equals no longer exist this is by design
enforce security when the powerchute
service is restarted those lines are
read and then delete it if powerchute
has been installed on a Linux system to
the default path I will find the PC NS
config dot ini file in /opt slash a PC /
powerchute slash group 1 here I will
find the PC NS config dot ini file as
with a Windows system I must stop the
powerchute service before editing the
pcs config dot ini file the command to
stop the power suit services service
powerchute stop now that the power suits
service has been stopped I will edit the
piece eNOS config dot ini file with my
text editor i will use VI as a text
editor under the heading of network
management card i will open a new line
and then to user name space equals and
then to the user name i would like to
use since i'm also unsure of the
password i want to password space equals
and then to the password i would like to
use

the file has been saved and closed i
will restart the parachute service the

services service power shoes
start I now see that the power chute
service has been restarted as with the
window system once the power suit
