Reset password

You can reset a user password through the Decapod web UI. However, in some cases you may want to change the password bypassing the usual procedure. For example, if a user has an obsolete, non-working email or if you want to change the default root/root username and password pair.

To explicitly reset a user password:

decapod-admin password-reset [OPTIONS] USER_ID

If you do not pass the new password, decapod-admin will prompt you to enter it.

Example:

$ decapod-admin password-reset c83d0ede-aad1-4f1f-b6f0-730879974763
New password []:
Repeat for confirmation:

If you do not pass any password, the tool will generate one and output it to stdout.

Example:

$ decapod-admin password-reset c83d0ede-aad1-4f1f-b6f0-730879974763
New password []:

For all available options, run decapod-admin password-reset -h.
