## Resetting passwords
|
|
|
|
By default, Personal Server exposes admin APIs on a local Unix socket at `/var/tmp/focalboard_local.socket`. This is configurable by the `enableLocalMode` and `localModeSocketLocation` settings in config.json.
|
|
|
|
To reset a user's password, you can use the following `reset-password.sh` script:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
if [[ $# < 2 ]] ; then
|
|
echo 'reset-password.sh <username> <new password>'
|
|
exit 1
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
curl --unix-socket /var/tmp/focalboard_local.socket http://localhost/api/v1/admin/users/$1/password -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "password": "'$2'" }'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After resetting a user's password (e.g. if they forgot it), direct them to change it from the user menu, by clicking on their username at the top of the side bar.
