Good day, My husband recently passed away and he set up our home assistant. I have somehow managed to log out of home assistant on his computer, his phone and my phone and I can not log back in, when I try to it comes up with a 403 Forbidden error code. I goggled it and it looks like I need to delete my banned IP address? If that is the case where do I go to do it and how? TYIA

merry blade
#

I have no idea

#

How would I find that out?

halcyon scarab
#

Well, you could look where all your hardware is and take a picture and post it here

#

Basically, the goal here is to be able to stick a keyboard and monitor on to the device so you can reset the password(s)

merry blade
#

I assume the first three photos are external hard drives

#

the last photo of the dell computer I think he said was his server?

halcyon scarab
#

shit, if it is that, this might be more difficult than we think

merry blade
#

he was very smart with this stuff and I am more of a able to use a computer but no idea how it works type person

halcyon scarab
#

Do you have a keyboard and monitor?

merry blade
#

I do, I have plugged it in but nothing comes up

halcyon scarab
#

black screen or jibberish

merry blade
#

black screen

halcyon scarab
#

I'm assuming you didn't restart it, right?

#

ok, lets hedge our bets here before doing anything else

#

I see you have a monitor that's on above the last photo

merry blade
#

he had an HDMI cord sitting there and I just pulled it into the second monitor and nothing, the light is not on for the service. I lost power awhile ago and thats why I started trying to get home assistant fixed but made things worse

halcyon scarab
#

is that the main computer where he did all his work?

merry blade
#

Yes i have a computer to the right of me that I am currently using with his main monitor

halcyon scarab
#

ok, does it have a software called PuTTy?

merry blade
#

yes just opened it

halcyon scarab
#

ok, show me a screenshot of the UI

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

then show me a screenshot of the next window

merry blade
#

this just popped up

halcyon scarab
#

is it still just sitting there without any other words?

#

ah shit

merry blade
#

this dell thing isn't on i dont hink

halcyon scarab
#

Oh, turn that bad boy on

merry blade
#

It wont

halcyon scarab
#

it wont??

merry blade
#

and i didnt unplug anything, i press the power button and it doesnt light up, i press and hold, still wont light up

halcyon scarab
#

and it's plugged into an outlet that has power?

merry blade
#

that must be the problem

#

lol let me check

halcyon scarab
#

Yah, always need to check the basics with this crap

#

If you can't get power to it, it's likely the power supply that's shot. Especially if you lost power.

merry blade
#

omg, im dumb, the power cord is super tight and i must have pulled it out while moving the box

#

two secs its loading up

halcyon scarab
#

haha

merry blade
#

oh i should plug it into the monitor now right

halcyon scarab
#

you can do that or we can try the putty thing

#

both will get us to the same screen

merry blade
#

I redid the putty thing and its a blank screen still

#

nope still network error

halcyon scarab
#

so, that will take a moment to boot up if HA is on that PC

merry blade
#

ah ok

halcyon scarab
#

I'd try again in like 1 minute

merry blade
#

k

halcyon scarab
#

Also, do you know how to look at devices on your router?

merry blade
#

no

halcyon scarab
#

do you know what router you have?

merry blade
#

tp link ac1750

#

still no luck on the putty th ing

halcyon scarab
#

Ok, lets go keyboard and monitor route

merry blade
#

I do have the dell plugged into the monitor but i need a proxmox login

halcyon scarab
#

ah shit

merry blade
#

yeah

halcyon scarab
#

so you don't have any of his credentials?

merry blade
#

I likely know his password but not sure on the log in

#

im trying some stuff

halcyon scarab
#

i'd try admin

#

did he use a password manager?

merry blade
#

yes on google though

halcyon scarab
#

maybe he has the user/pw there

#

well wait a sec

#

did he name the server anything?

merry blade
#

I dont see anything related to prox

#

he has a lot of these number things

#

I do not see one that matches the service http number on the dell

halcyon scarab
#

10.0.0.11 is the server

#

so that's proxmox

#

HA is 10.0.0.11:8123

#

is there a 10.0.0.11:22 or 10.0.0.11:22222?

merry blade
#

sigh nope

#

when i click on the 10.0.0.11 it leads me to a google log in and none of his passwords work on that

#

thats the whole list filtered by 10.0.0.11

#

when i try to log in to home assistant on my phone it finds Home 10.0.0.8.8123

tired prism
#

The one ending in :8124 should be home assistant.

#

Aha, so the IP address has changed.

merry blade
#

I wonder if I should just delete all of this and start over

halcyon scarab
#

well

tired prism
# halcyon scarab

Try changing the Host Name when you have HA selected to end with .8:8123 instead of .11:8123

merry blade
#

TBH setting up home assistant seems to be far out of my skillset

tired prism
#

Why are you trying to get HA running now? Is something not working?

merry blade
#

I cant seem to do anything, when i click on it, it goes to Gmail log in and none of his passwords work

halcyon scarab
#

it's not easy, however your partner has a semi-complex setup, so I wouldn't base it on your setup

stiff tapir
#

Now that the dell is turned on, are you able to access the home assitant dashboard from wherever you all used it?

merry blade
#

no he has it auto saved on one of his tabs, i click on it and it brings me to 403 forbidden

#

so I used to be able to use his computer to open it, no longer as of this morning for no apparent reason

stiff tapir
halcyon scarab
#

well it looks like its now 10.0.0.11:8123, not 10.0.0.8:8123

tired prism
stiff tapir
#

ya wasn't sure if he had ssl set up

merry blade
tired prism
#

Let's assume not, most people don't on internal networks as it causes more problems than it solves.

halcyon scarab
#

can you go back to putty for a sec? and click on HA then click load, then take a screenshot?

#

Just want to confirm he's using normal ports for ssh or not

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

because there still may be hope that way

#

no no, don't click open

merry blade
#

no connection...but the dell is on

#

oh

halcyon scarab
#

click 'load'

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

when you do that, all the settings in the "top box" should populate

merry blade
#

doesnt seem to do anything whern i hit load?

halcyon scarab
#

nope, it did ๐Ÿ™‚

merry blade
#

oh the host name?

tired prism
#

It has, it's loaded the info Petro needed ๐Ÿ˜…

halcyon scarab
#

it tells me that he purposely disabled SSH through proxmox

#

because 10.0.0.11:22 should be in your list if it was enabled

#

oh, lets try that!

#

but before you do

#

in putty, do this

#

then

#

then

#

then, screenshot

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

huh

merry blade
#

I dont have credentials,

halcyon scarab
#

interesting

#

click on gssapi

#

then screenshot

#

Just want to see if that's defaults, if it is... (Which I think it will be) that means he never set an SSH key and we can attempt to log into the CLI

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

ok defaults

#

go back to session

merry blade
#

k

halcyon scarab
#

put this

#

then click open

#

then screenshot

stiff tapir
#

Do you think the ip wasn't static so it changed after the power went out?

merry blade
halcyon scarab
#

nooooooo

merry blade
#

well the power went out like a month ago and I lost the abillity to use aqara but still had the ability to use home assistant

halcyon scarab
#

ok, well that was a hail mary

#

Does your partners PC have teamviewer?

#

If you were willing, I could attempt to look around via teamviewer, only at your approval. Otherwise, this may be a dead end.

merry blade
#

i am dl it now

halcyon scarab
#

I have to drive home, shoot me a DM and I'll accept and we can attempt to fix this when I get home.

If you want, you can ping @vocal slate who is the server admin if you have questions about myself or anyone else trying to help. She is the HA community manager
