[xwiki-users] Forgot Admin Password?

Hi,

Post by mohit gupta
Hi All,
i for got my 11 digit admin password. Kindly let me know how can i recover
it ?

You can log in as an Admin and change the password.
You can also log as superadmin if you don't have any admin user set.

Post by mohit gupta
Also want to know is there a way i can direct get from database in
decrypted form.

No you cannot. That would be unsafe to be able to do this!

Thanks

I had only one Admin created in database . My question is how will i login
as admin and change the password, if i have already forgotten the password.

Hi!

Vincent already gave the answer: "You can also log as superadmin if you don't have any admin user set."

Hi Dmitry,

As per link i uncommented the line *xwiki.superadminpassword=system and
set *xwiki.superadminpassword = mar at 2012.
But now i login as superadmin as username and password as mar at 2012. It logs
me in with error at top Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing
velocity page /templates/menuview.vm Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate
content with id [/templates/menuview.vm]. When i click on it it says
XWiki.superadmin does not exist. *here is caused by stack trace*

Mohit,

this surely appears as a bug.
But I would attempt going elsewhere, it has a chance to work.
