CLI Usage And Demos

chadminpass.sh

This script allows you to change the administrator password for a VoipNow instance. It can be used when access to the web interface is not available or when credential recovery is required, providing a fast way to reset authentication securely via terminal.

Usage

bash
/usr/local/voipnow/bin/chadminpass.sh

How It Works

When running chadminpass.sh, the script guides you through a short interactive procedure:

  1. Prompts you to enter a new administrator password for the VoipNow server.
  2. Requires a minimum length of 8 characters to ensure password strength.
  3. Asks you to confirm the password by typing it again.
  4. After successful validation, the password is updated and a confirmation message is displayed:
bash
Password changed successfully!
