do NOT reset with passwd, this could also be your issue. Always use v-change-user-password, otherwise the password gets reseted during a rebuild.

No wonder it not working as rebuilds will reset passwords… to what is know in Hestia…
TVM i did it now but, no working… im in this loop for some days… ufff
thanks @Raphael
then this might have been a past issue for me
but, as i mentioned, i wasn’t getting any password error message in return of my attempt to log in with admin
i haven’t restored the admin
as you might have read, i’m now waiting a how to restore without failing
enough disk space? there are much potential reasons for a login loop, have a look here in the forum.

have you tried to look towards the firewall fail2ban?
there is no instruction about manual backup
do i have to understand that I should extract this archive and simply scp the content to the root folder of the user?
what about ownership during that process?
how can i reinstall? just made the update but, I can fix it by reinstalling it I had it immediately!
HestiaCP is not an autopilot for your server. Hestia is a tool to enable various hosting related settings via a web interface.
We assume that you are familiar with the basics of server administration, as well as knowledge about setting up and managing hosting applications. This means we assume that even without Hestia you would be able to set up a LAMP stack and manage your email, but are looking for a tool to simplify these tasks.
We cannot provide support for requests that do not describe in detail the troubleshooting you have already done or that clearly show a lack of will and knowledge to solve the proble
