      Hi guys,

      I have a lot of firewalls running Pfsense, recently I need to change all the passwords, can anyone advise if they use a script of some sort which can do this please?

        There isn't a powershell script I'm aware of, but you can connect with ssh and run pfSsh.php playback changepassword admin, then enter the new password and confirm it.

        Together with something like clusterssh or tabs with shared input in SecureCRT you could change a bunch to the same password all at once.
