Description

I created an admin user with a password, that contains a special character. Installation of Gitea was successful, but I can't login. I can't get new password, because it says:

Sorry, Register Mail Confirmation has been disabled.

I tried command gitea admin change-password, but command is not recognized.

What is the special character you are talking about ?
Knowing it can help.

It was a "@".

You can change any user's password via gitea admin command.

I get

gitea: command not found

for every gitea commands. Gitea is up and running on server.

@plaidshirtakos probably gitea binary is not in path, so you need to use full path to it

Thanks, command executed successfully.
