# How to reset your root password
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log into your server with root privileges. Then start a Ruby on Rails console.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start the console with this command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
gitlab-rails console production
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wait until the console has loaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are multiple ways to find your user. You can search for email or username.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
user = User.where(id: 1).first
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
user = User.find_by(email: 'admin@local.host')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can change your password:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
user.password = 'secret_pass'
|
||
|
|
user.password_confirmation = 'secret_pass'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's important that you change both password and password_confirmation to make it work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't forget to save the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
user.save!
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exit the console and try to login with your new password.
