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 ownCloud Web interface, so that the ownCloud
|
|
server can email a reset link to you.
|
|
|
|
2. Ask another ownCloud 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. ``occ`` is in the ``owncloud`` directory, for
|
|
example ``/var/www/owncloud/occ``. ``occ`` has a command for resetting all
|
|
user passwords, ``user:resetpassword``. It is best to run ``occ`` as the HTTP
|
|
user, as in this example on Ubuntu Linux::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -u www-data php /var/www/owncloud/occ user:resetpassword admin
|
|
Enter a new password:
|
|
Confirm the new password:
|
|
Successfully reset password for admin
|
|
|
|
If your ownCloud username is not ``admin``, then substitute your ownCloud
|
|
username.
|
|
|
|
You can find your HTTP user in your HTTP configuration file. These are the
|
|
default Apache HTTP user:group on Linux distros:
|
|
|
|
* Centos, Red Hat, Fedora: apache:apache
|
|
* Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint: www-data:www-data
|
|
* openSUSE: wwwrun:www
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../configuration_server/occ_command` to learn more about using the
|
|
``occ`` command.
