# How to reset your root password:
|
||||
|
||||
Log into your server with root privileges. Then start a Ruby on Rails console.
|
||||
|
||||
Start the console with this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
> gitlab-rails console production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Wait until the console has loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
There are multiple ways to find your user. You can search for email or username.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
irb(main):001:0> u = User.where(id: 1).first
|
||||
or
|
||||
user = User.find_by(email: 'admin@local.host')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can change your password:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
> u.password = 'secret_pass'
|
||||
> u.password_confirmation = 'secret_pass'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It's important that you change both password and password_confirmation to make it work.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to save the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
> u.save!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Exit the console and try to login with your new password.
