Topic: Reseting default adminstrator user account password
Topic type:
If, for whatever reason, you don't have the default site administrator password for your account, here is how to set it.
First, open up your_app/db/bootstrap/users.yml (or you_app/current/db/bootstrap/users.yml if you are using Capistrano to deploy to) and grab the crypted_password value, then in a database client session in the CORRECT database for your running enviroment (i.e. your_app_production if you are running in production mode), issue this:
mysql -u kete -p your_database_production
....
mysql> UPDATE users SET crypted_password = '00742970dc9e6319f8019fd54864d3ea740f04b1' WHERE id = 1;
mysql> exit;Now the user with a login of 'admin' will have a password of 'test'. Login as that user, click on the name on the top right next to "| Logout", and then use the "Change Password" link to update to a new non-default password as you should for security.
