DA - how to change virtual user email password through SSH ?

[domu]

I have a recurring problem with "License Expired" error. Hence
I do not have access to DA panel to change the email password
of a virtual user through SSH ?

How can I change email account password of a virtual user ?

Did you correct the license issue

Important: Upgrade your DirectAdmin to ensure compatibility with our new licensing system

We'd like to announce that we're shutting down our old licensing infrastructure. Our more advanced key-based system has been operating for months already, and we are now ready to formalize this system as the future of DirectAdmin licensing. If you are running any of our last three releases...

Thank you for the heads up, I will look into it, but still it does not
answer my question. I am running Centos 6, so if I read correctly
I will be able to upgrade to DA version 1.63. Till then, I have
immediate need to change potentially compromised password
of one of the email accounts. So, how can I do it from SSH ?

If you're on 64-bit yes. Not on 32 bit.

As for the password, have a look at this. Found this on a site. It's from 2019, but use at your own risk.

grep user /etc/virtual/somedomain.com/passwd
user:$1$saltsalt$axvmnqdjkdE/BsPlbO6H/.:666:21::/home/web1/imap/somedomain.com/user:/bin/false

openssl passwd -1 -salt saltsalt KuX0oisaigoowe
$1$saltsalt$axvmnqdjkdE/BsPlbO6H/.

Random password was set to: KuX0oisaigoowe

Ofcourse, replace the example values as needed.
