I followed the high level guidance provided by franco in this thread:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15875.0
Worked perfectly. Very simply:
- Boot OPNsense to Single-User Mode
- Mount the / with "mount -o rw /"
- Run "/usr/local/sbin/opnsense-shell password"
It will ask you if you want to reset the root password and also the authentication method... it will shut off the TOPT server and flip you back to local database.
Then "/sbin/reboot" and you should be good to go.
Cheers!
Thank you, jim2cpu! This helped me login again. Had to follow the steps for ZFS (https://docs.opnsense.org/troubleshooting/password_reset.html).
The first question was, do you want to change Authentication to Local Database! ;D
Still had to reset the root password, but who cares. I was able to login after the reboot.
