NethServer Version:* your_version 7.9
Module: your_module
Many greetings to all Nethserver community,
I’m quite newbie to Nethserver and for error I have changed password to the “operator” user (believing it could be admin).
It could be dangerous for the system?
How can I reverse it? (setting with NO password?)
Thanks in advance for helping
Hi
And welcome to the NethServer Community!
First things first:
You should really read up a little on NethServer.
NethServer doesn’t really use the usual /etc/passwd or etc/groups - it uses an Account Provider, which you need to choose between AD and LDAP and then install (All one click from the Web-GUI Cockpit.
AD allows user/gropu shares, LDAP will only allow “public” shares.
Second: Tradition Linux/UNIX
If using the “traditional” tools to handle users / groups, you need to know where the stuff will be stored, so you can change it later!
Users: /etc/passwd
Passwords: /etc/shadow
Groups: /etc/group
You can change the user-password back to zero (empte) by editing /etc/shadow.
Some background Infos:

AFAIK, the user operator isn’t used in NethServer, so it should not be critical.
Still, I’d revert the change!
Hope this helps
My 2 cents
