Cant access passbolt after kernel update

Installation Issues
1

Hi Guys…
I’m quite desperate. I have tried many fixes, and now I have frozen, and I cannot think of any solution.
I updated my Ubuntu server kernel (quite simple), and after the reboot, I realized that I am a Twat. I did not have the IP fixed and had to change some configurations.
After about 1 hour, success Passbolt is working… kid of, it requires a new registry. However, again I’m a twat, I had my work email configured on Passwobolt to send emails, and I changed the password a few weeks ago. I did not remember to change the password on the GUI, nor have I changed to a generic email account where the password does not expire.
My question is, is it possible to change the email configuration password in the Linux terminal? I cannot enter the GUI to change it without receiving the recovery email.

Thanks in advanced

Hello @Bgraca , welcome to our community!

If you already had configured SMTP through the web, it means that you can’t change it through the passbolt configuration file because it has been stored and encrypted in the database.

What I would recommend here is to generate a recover URL from the server:

sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt recover_user -c -u YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" www-data

After that, you’ll have to import your private key and fill the associated passphrase when its required. On the interface, navigate to Administration > Email server

Hope it helps
