Hi,
I have the situation that the password for the WebUI useraccount is lost.
The root account can't login via the webUI even after the reset via the "opnsense-shell password" in singleuser mode with rw remounted root.
Reseting the useraccount with passwd in singleuser and @runtime did not change the situation. 
Is there any way to reset the passwords of "normal" Webusers via the cli.

For these reasons I always create a "backup_admin" user, the password manager stores it for me and don't have to worry about copying it anywhere.

I had a similar situation but got lucky connecting directly to the serial port of my firewall appliance and reset few things.
