Help: Reset Headwiz Password

AresMUSH
1

Hello!

Through a series of unfortunate events involving a laptop, a bed, a keyboard and a puppy, I’ve been locked out of my headwiz account after the password got reset to … yikes, I’m not even entirely sure.

I figured there was a shell method to fix this, so I hunted it down, and tried as written in the tutorial the following from the aresmush directory (while logged in as ares):

bin/script reset_headwiz_password,somenewpassword

Unfortunately I only get the repeated “no such command” error when performing this action. We don’t currently have another coder character on the game, and once I’m able to change that I absolutely will, but right now I’m going to need a solution for this one!

Worst case scenario I can roll back to a backup, but it would be a small nightmare I’d prefer to avoid. :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

Could you share a little more info about the error you’re getting?

“No such command” sounds like it’s coming from within the game client. That’s not something I would expect to come out of the server shell.

I just tested it and the script works for me:

ssh to the server shell...

ares@arescentral:~$ cd aresmush
ares@arescentral:~/aresmush$ bin/script reset_headwiz_password,SOMENEWPASSWORD
