I forgot the password
Nobody can read the password of the account. Set a new password on the server.
What you see
You cannot sign in to the dashboard, because you do not know the password.
Why it occurs
No person and no program can read the password. The server stores only a hash of it.
How to repair it
Choose a new password on the server with ferryd reset-password. Run it as the user that runs ferryd, with the data directory of the server.
sudo -u ferry ferryd reset-password --data-dir /var/lib/ferry| The command | Detail |
|---|---|
| Asks for the new password two times | It does not show the password. |
| Signs out each browser | API tokens continue to work. |
| Works while the server runs |
When the input of the command is not a terminal, the command reads the new password from one line of standard input.
