Just installed pfsense on linux locked myself out. pfSense runs on FreeBSD - how'd you manage that!? ;) If you have an SSH session there is a prompt to reset the webmin password - just hit that. If you are on linux with a VM (maybe that's what you are talking about) - then use the VM console or re-install? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
