Use `sudo -E -u www-data php occ` everywhere. Motivation: this should work on more appliances like also inside docker containers. Signed-off-by: Simon L. <szaimen@e.mail.de>

Resetting a lost admin password
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
The normal ways to recover a lost password are:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the password reset link on the login screen; this appears after a
|
|
failed login attempt. This works only if you have entered your email address
|
|
on your Personal page in the Nextcloud Web interface, so that the Nextcloud
|
|
server can email a reset link to you.
|
|
|
|
2. Ask another Nextcloud server admin to reset it for you.
|
|
|
|
If neither of these is an option, then you have a third option, and that is
|
|
using the ``occ`` command. See :doc:`../occ_command` to
|
|
learn more about using the ``occ`` command.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -E -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ user:resetpassword admin
|
|
Enter a new password:
|
|
Confirm the new password:
|
|
Successfully reset password for admin
|
|
|
|
If your Nextcloud username is not ``admin``, then substitute your Nextcloud
|
|
username.
