# R630-04 Password Issue - Summary

**Date:** 2025-12-28  
**Status:** ❌ Password authentication failing

---

## Confirmed Facts

1. ✅ **R630-03 (192.168.11.13)** - Password `L@kers2010` works
2. ❌ **R630-04 (192.168.11.14)** - Password `L@kers2010` does NOT work
3. ✅ Both servers have SSH port 22 open and accepting connections
4. ✅ Both servers offer `publickey,password` authentication methods
5. ✅ Connection attempts from both local machine and R630-03 fail with same password

---

## Conclusion

**R630-04 has a different root password than R630-03.**

The password `L@kers2010` that works on R630-03 is not the correct password for R630-04.

---

## Possible Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Different Password for Each Host
- R630-03: `L@kers2010` ✅
- R630-04: Different password (unknown) ❌
- This is common practice for security

### Scenario 2: Password Was Changed
- R630-04 password may have been changed
- Not updated in documentation/notes

### Scenario 3: Password Never Set
- R630-04 may have been set up differently
- May require initial setup/configuration

---

## Documentation Found

Found password documentation in `docs/PROXMOX_HOST_PASSWORDS.md`:
- ml110 (192.168.11.10): `L@kers2010` ✅
- pve (192.168.11.11): `password` ✅
- pve2 (192.168.11.12): `password` ✅

**Note:** R630-03 and R630-04 are NOT in this documentation.

### Password Attempts Made
- ❌ `L@kers2010` - Does not work (but works on R630-03)
- ❌ `password` - Does not work (but works on pve/pve2)
- ❌ Tried from both local machine and R630-03 - Both fail

## Next Steps to Resolve

### Option 1: Find Documentation
- Check if there's a password list/document
- Check deployment notes
- Check any password management system

### Option 2: Use Console Access
If you have:
- **Physical console/KVM** access
- **iDRAC** access (Dell R630 server)
- **Serial console**

You can:
```bash
# Boot into single user mode or use console
# Reset password:
passwd root

# Or check current account status:
passwd -S root
```

### Option 3: Check if Managed by Another System
- Check if R630-04 is managed by another Proxmox host
- Check if there's a central authentication system
- Check if it's part of a cluster with shared authentication

### Option 4: Check if Different User Needed
- May need to use a different username (not root)
- May have been configured with a different admin user

### Option 5: Network Boot/Recovery
- If available, boot from network/recovery media
- Mount the filesystem
- Reset password manually

## iDRAC Access (Recommended for Dell R630)

If this is a physical Dell R630 server, you likely have iDRAC:

1. **Find iDRAC IP:**
   ```bash
   # From another host on network, scan for iDRAC
   nmap -p 443,623 192.168.11.0/24 | grep -B 5 -A 5 "443.*open\|623.*open"
   ```

2. **Access iDRAC Web Interface:**
   - Usually: `https://192.168.11.x` (different IP than host)
   - Or: `https://<idrac-ip>`
   - Default credentials vary (check documentation)

3. **Use iDRAC Remote Console:**
   - Access virtual console
   - Boot server if needed
   - Reset password from console

---

## Quick Actions to Try

1. **Check if there's a password document:**
   ```bash
   # Look for any documentation files
   find ~/projects/proxmox -name "*password*" -o -name "*credential*" -o -name "*secret*"
   ```

2. **Check if R630-04 is in a Proxmox cluster:**
   - If managed by ML110 or another host, may have different auth
   - Check cluster status from working host

3. **Try common password variations:**
   - `L@kers2010!` (with exclamation)
   - `L@kers2011` (year variation)
   - Check if there's a pattern (e.g., incrementing number per host)

4. **Check for SSH keys:**
   ```bash
   # On R630-03, check if there are SSH keys for R630-04
   ls -la ~/.ssh/
   cat ~/.ssh/config 2>/dev/null | grep -i r630-04
   ```

## If Password Found or Reset

Once you gain access to R630-04:

1. **Document the password** (securely)
2. **Fix pveproxy issue:**
   ```bash
   systemctl status pveproxy
   journalctl -u pveproxy -n 100
   systemctl restart pveproxy
   ```
3. **Verify web interface:**
   ```bash
   ss -tlnp | grep 8006
   curl -k https://localhost:8006
   ```
4. **Update infrastructure documentation** with correct information
