Solution

1. Go to the MikoPBX console.

The location of the console depends on the installation method:

• If installed on a physical server - on the monitor connected to the server.

• If installed in a virtual machine - in the virtual machine management console.

• If installed in the cloud - in the cloud serial console (also in the virtual machine management console).

• The reset method when installing in a Docker container is described in more detail in the current documentation.

In addition, the console can be accessed using SSH authorization. You can read more about SSH connection here.
