Hi everyone, i am new here.
I got locked out of my OPNsense because i tried changing password through KeepassXC randomized password which in hindsight kinda dumb.
At first the password worked once, so i continued changing other password, then the second time i tried again, it never worked again, ever.
The OPNsense is virtualized through Proxmox.
I tried multiple ways to reset the password, but the noVNC cannot show at reboot and I tried noVNC proxy from the Proxmox console itself, but it is also password locked.
"LC_PVE_TICKET not set, VNC proxy without password is forbidden"
My config & problem:
- OPNsense 25.1.12 on Proxmox 9.1.7
- i350-T4 PCIe passthrough
- noVNC loses connection during reboot
because OPNsense IS the gateway
- Cannot see installer menu
- Boot order set to ide2 (ISO attached)
- ISO is OPNsense-25.1-dvd-amd64.iso
- VM uses SeaBIOS, q35 machine type
- Config backup exists from March 2026
I hope that anyone can help me sort this out without doing a fresh install.
Thank you.
