I am using Debian 7.11 on this particular system. I have open media vault installed on it, but have lost the password. The system asks me for the open media vault root password every now and then, especially when performing tasks in the GUI of the Debian desktop, like rebooting the system or mounting a disk. I usually work around the issue by using the command prompt, where I have a sudo user and the root password of the Debian system.<br />

So how do I recover or reset the root password of the open media vault installation?
