# Reset user password
|
|
|
|
Resetting a user's invidious password needs you to edit the database.
|
|
|
|
Firstly, generate a bcrypt-encrypted hash for the new password you want to set for the user.
|
|
|
|
This can be done with the `bcrypt` python module, though there are other ways of doing the same.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python3 -c 'import bcrypt; print(bcrypt.hashpw(b"<INSERT PASSWORD HERE>", bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=10)).decode("ascii"))'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To do so, first attach to the database:
|
|
```
|
|
# su - postgres
|
|
$ psql
|
|
postgres=# \c invidious
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, run the following SQL query:
|
|
```
|
|
UPDATE users SET password = 'HASH' WHERE email = 'USERNAME';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that, the password should be reset.
