Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/905

I have not been able to determine a way to reset the admin password. Is this possible?

@tonioo commented on GitHub (Aug 26, 2016):

There is no shortcut for that but if you know a bit of python, you can run this:

> cd modoboa_dir
> python manage.py shell

(don't forget to load your virtual env if you use one) and then:

> from modoboa.core.models import User
> u = User.objects.get(pk=1)
> u.set_password("new password")
> u.save()
Ctr+D

Would it make sense to add a script with argument ( new password ) for this?

If you write a script use https://docs.python.org/3/library/getpass.html#getpass.getpass
Storing a password in ~/.bash_history seems a bad idea.

Will put this on my agenda ( even is python is not my preferred language ) as soon as there is a plan with the mail throttling.

A builtin django command is available for that:

> python manage.py changepassword admin

Thanx, worked for me too. Resetting password via webinterface seemed not to work, didnt get the email with the resetting instruction ... (since half an hour or so)

Background of my problem: I want to run nginx behind hiawatha as reverse proxy and change the prts of nginx so my password was not available in my browser any more ... hope there are no problems in running other modoboa web interface on other ports

You can also try this

/srv/modoboa/env/bin/python /srv/modoboa/instance/manage.py changepassword admin
