You can’t recover the password of a user but if you can use the root user or at least the sudo command, you can change it.

If you dont know what’s the administrator user:

sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-list-users | grep -E 'admin\s{1,}system'

And it will show the administrator user name in the first column. Once you get the administrator user name, change the password.

sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-change-user-password HereTheAdminName 'HereTheNewPassword'
