Try this to figure it out:

postmap -n | grep '_maps'

if you see 'proxy:mysql:/...', it's MySQL backend. 'proxy:pgsql:' is PostgreSQL, 'proxy:ldap:' is OpenLDAP.

With MySQL/PostgreSQL backends, you can login to SQL server and change it manually like this (use MySQL for example):

sql> USE vmail;
sql> UPDATE mailbox SET password='{PLAIN}123456' WHERE username='postmaster@my_domain.com';

It resets password to '123456', you must login to iRedAdmin immediately and change it to a strong password.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm getting the below output;

postmap: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 735: overriding earlier entry: smtp_tls_CAfile=$smtpd_tls_CAfile
postmap: fatal: usage: postmap [-Nfinoprsvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key] [map_type:]file...

Re: I forgot the postmaster@domain password

My mistake, it's "postconf -n", not "postmap". Sorry.

Re: I forgot the postmaster@domain password

So you're using LDAP backend. Try this:

Install package 'ldapvi' (available in EPEL repo, it's a vi-like LDAP connection tool), then connect to LDAP server as LDAP root dn, or 'cn=vmailadmin,dc=xx,dc=xx' (you can find this dn and password in iRedAdmin config file /var/www/iredadmin/settings.py), find the user 'mail=postmaster@domain,ou=Users,domainName=domain,o=domains,dc=xx,dc=xx', then replace 'userPassword' by '{PLAIN}123456', save your change.
