Generating One-Time Login Links
Log on to the server using SSH.
Enter the command below to create two URLs. With the first URL, you can access Plesk via the hostname. The second URL allows you to access Plesk through the server's IP address.
[root@localhost ~]# plesk login
If the server hostname cannot be resolved over the Internet, the associated URL will not be created.
Copy one of the URLs and open it in your browser.
Resetting the Password
To reset the password, enter the command below after replacing the placeholder text my_passwd with the desired password.
[root@localhost ~]# plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd 'my_passwd'
You can now log in to Plesk with the username admin and the password you assigned.
