Hello !

I was working with localhost and I forgot about my password, I tried with recover by email and I didn’t get one email back with the recovery code. Perhaps because I was working with localhost.

What do I do?

Try resetting your password using Strapi CLI.

Steps:

  1. Open terminal (iTerm, cmd, etc.) in your Strapi app directory.
  2. Run : yarn strapi admin:reset-user-password --email="YOUR_EMAIL" --password="YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD" (if you use Yarn). You may have to create alphanumeric password (according to Strapi), so weak password like 12345 might fail to reset your password.

If you use NPM, you probably should run npm run strapi admin:reset-user-password --email="YOUR_EMAIL" --password="YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD".

Step-2

function changePassword(useremail, password) {
strapi.admin.services.user.findOne({ email: useremail }).then(u => {
if (u) {
strapi.admin.services.auth.hashPassword(password).then(hashedPassword => {
strapi.query(‘user’, ‘admin’).update({id: u.id }, { password: hashedPassword })
.then(() => console.log(‘Updated successfully.’))
.catch((ex) => console.error(‘Failed to update password.’, ex))
}).catch(ex => console.error(‘Failed to hash password and update it.’, ex));
} else {
console.error(‘Wrong email?? Please check your email’);
}
});
}
changePassword(‘username@username.com’, ‘newpassword’);
