Lost password on Web Gui access in UrBackup in Linux

Server
1

Hi all.
it’s my fist time in this forum, if I write bad or i’m using the forum in bad way, please help me to do the right procedure.
I have a friend, I installed a UrBackup Linux version 1.4.14. on Centos 6.8 on his PC.
He decided to create a password for a user “admin” (administrator user name) in the web gui access.
He now forget the password :frowning:
I try to access to the db using the sqlite3 command, but the db is encrypted.
there is a way to restore or change the password in this case issue?
thanks for any following answers.
bye

You can reset the admin password from the command line :

urbackupsrv reset-admin-pw

hi.
I don’t have this command in my urbackup version, I tried with “urbackup_srv reset-admin-pw” but the service starts and nothing happen.
the console shows these messages:
2016-11-16 19:00:48: Creating SOCKET…
2016-11-16 19:00:48: done.
2016-11-16 19:00:48: Server started up sucessfully!
2016-11-16 19:00:48: Looking for old Sessions… 0 sessions

what did i do wrong?

thanks

My linux version is CENTOS, I installed the urbackup on Centos 6.8, Maybe the commands are different?
I found a similar command " start_urbackup_server reset_pw" but I think that command reset the user “admin” in the urbackup service and not the user “admin” on the web page access : x.x.x.:55414. Becuase I remember that the web access by default is without password, I set the password later.
Could it be a different setting users place store for each service (web and urbackup) ??

thanks

Hi.
I solved the issue.
The command was the right way to do, I missed to use the right parameter:

start_urbackup_server --reset_pw (newpassword)

Thanks a lot for your help TomTomGo.
