How do I change the Root password? Thanks

I’m assuming SSH into device? Please advice.

Have you tried the WiFi password from the sticker on the bottom of your Vera?

Yep. I just searched the post - that worked. Thanks oTi.

I also want to login in the advanced mode, because i need to set username and password to restrict access from outside.

However, i have a Vera Lite module and on the sticker no such password is mentioned?

Can anyone help me?

If you go to Setup → Backup, you can download a (latest) backup stored on MCV’s servers. If you extract the archive and navigate to the etc directory, you’ll find a file called cmh.conf which is a text file. In it you’ll find a string like ‘Password=bladiebla’. That password is your root password.

Then just ssh root@<vera’s ip> and enter the password…

Thanks Quinten, that worked ;D

What program is used to extract the backup?

The above contains an app by @futzle to return the root password.
