I lost the admin password

Set two variables in your .env file, restart once, log in, then remove them — there's no email-based password reset today.

There’s no email-based password reset today, but recovering access is a two-step edit to your .env file, not a rebuild.

  1. Set two variables in .env

    ADMIN_PASSWORD=<a-new-password>
    ADMIN_RESET_PASSWORD=true
  2. Restart once

    docker compose up -d

    On the next startup, the box re-hashes ADMIN_PASSWORD into the seeded admin account’s credentials.

  3. Log in, then turn the flag back off

    Remove ADMIN_RESET_PASSWORD (or set it back to false) and restart again. Leaving it on means the admin password resets to whatever’s in .env on every future restart.

This only helps if you can edit the box's files

If you don’t have access to the machine’s .env file at all, this path isn’t available to you — bring the details to the community board.
