Don't have your Server Admin Query password? Look here!

[johnnydotexe]

Linux instructions at https://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/48255 appear to have worked after some tweaking. Close thread.

First of the thread is about losing the Server Admin group. Not about the Query password.
I merged this thread into the right one.

It's desired that there is no ts3server.ini file. This file is only needed to modify default parameters.

Don't know what file teamspeak3-server.sh is.
The right command on server start would be

./ts3server_startscript.sh inifile=ts3server.ini

or

./ts3server_startscript.sh serveradmin_password=new_password

IT's a custom script that refers to the actual ts3 server script. Using the correct commands like you've shown I was able to set a new serveradmin password, then telnet in to server to generate a new secure serveradmin password, then using that generate a new privilege token for myself. I now have full control of my server again. Thanks.

Hello, I forgot my query port that I changed long time ago, but now looking in ts3server.ini reveals it is back to default 10011, but when I try logging in via yatqa it doesn't allow me to see anything.

How can I find my admin user name and password?

[axsimulate]

you could also start the server with command line serveradmin_password=yournewpassword

Accept it is not working. I've tried it several times and have been unable to change the password with the above suggestion.

It works. I just recovered a server this way.
Fix your hands, perhaps?

Hello,

I wanted to change the serverqueryadmin password with this instruction ( https://support.teamspeakusa.com/ind...-query-account ) but there was an error:
-bash: !3: event not found
Please help me, thanks.

And what is your command?

Today I had a conundrum. How do I reset forgotten serveradmin password inside a container? It's actually quite simple, as I will demonstrate.

This tutorial expects you to know docker composer (from logical side), linux and have a fully working, corretly set up ts3 docker container visible to the world (or LAN if you aren't exposing your docker container). If you don't know **** then it won't help you at all...

Let's begin.

Step 1. Get entrypoint.sh from the running container

navigate to where you have ts3's docker-compose.yaml, and run docker ps which will show you all runing containers, like:

[email protected]:~/teamspeak3$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                    COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                                                   NAMES

copy the red text (container id) and use this command

[email protected]:~/teamspeak3$ docker cp 653e5eeb0c75:/opt/ts3server/entrypoint.sh entrypoint.sh

it will copy startup file to current directory.

Step 2. Edit entrypoint.sh adding serveradmin password

Use text editor of your choice (mine is nano). Look for something like this:

if [ "$1" = 'ts3server' ]; then
    set -- "[email protected]" inifile=/var/run/ts3server/ts3server.ini
fi

and simply add

if [ "$1" = 'ts3server' ]; then
    set -- "[email protected]" inifile=/var/run/ts3server/ts3server.ini serveradmin_password=pass123
fi

or any password. In my example pass123 will overwrite the firt-run serveradmin password ts3 always sets up. Save the file and exit text editor.

Step 3. Use modiffied entrypoint.sh

There is one simple way to tacle this problem. Edit docker-compose.yaml. My default composer file looks like this:

version: '3'

services:

  teamspeak3-diablo:
    image: teamspeak
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - "./data/:/var/ts3server"
    ports:
      - 9987:9987/udp
      - 10022:10022/tcp
      - 30033:30033
    environment:
      TS3SERVER_LICENSE: accept
      TS3SERVER_QUERY_PROTOCOLS: ssh

and all you need to do is open entrypoint.sh in text editor, add one line to your config

version: '3'

services:

  teamspeak3-diablo:
    image: teamspeak
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - "./data/:/var/ts3server"
      - ./entrypoint.sh:/opt/ts3server/entrypoint.sh:ro
    ports:
      - 9987:9987/udp
      - 10022:10022/tcp
      - 30033:30033
    environment:
      TS3SERVER_LICENSE: accept
      TS3SERVER_QUERY_PROTOCOLS: ssh

save the file and exit text editor.

Step 4. Applying changes

After editing docker-compose.yaml all you have to do is type

docker-compose up -d

composer will refresh it's configuration, rebuild container and voila.

[email protected]:~/teamspeak$ docker-compose up -d
Recreating teamspeak3_1 ... 
Recreating teamspeak3_1 ... done

Now all you have to do is enter the new password to YATQA or any other query tool and off you go.
