EN: Reset Password

Password reset

If a user has forgotten his password, the following options are available:

With administrator rights

An administrator can reset the passwords of other users: To do this, they must call System->User and select the desired user. In the tab "Set password" a new password can be set for the user.

With reset_admin_pw.php

If it is not possible to change a password using the above-mentioned method (e. g. because the administrator forgot his password), you can change the password as follows (access to the web server is required):

1. Copy the file reset_admin_pw. php. noexec from the folder readme/ into the root directory of Part-DB.
2. Rename the file to reset_admin_pw. php.
3. open http://Dein-Server.foo/reset_admin_pw. php in a browser. The main administrator's password is reset and the user name and new password are displayed.
4. Change the administrator's password and delete the reset_admin_pw. php file.
