Resetting password

A Former User

Hi

I have been trying to reset the password through DB9-cable (single-user mode), but have been unsuccessful. when I try to reset the password, I get the following error:

The webConfigurator admin password and privileges will be reset to the default (which is "pfsense").
Do you want to proceed [y|n]? y

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function pfSense_fsync() in /etc/inc/config.lib.inc:875

System (OS) core files are missing.
You have console access : save the config file manually
It's here : /conf/config.xml

and re install.

edit : and check your drive for failures before the install.
