Hi,

How do you reset your admin password for 1.8.1 when its running on Docker?

Thanks

You will need to run sql command (similar to 1.7 series) on the web container.

Please see here how to access mysql on docker - [How can I run a SQL command when using a Docker Install?](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/how-can-i-run-a-sql-command-when-using-a-docker-install/9946)

ie  
`docker ps` (to learn the web container name)

`docker exec -it <container_name> bash`

`mysql -hmysql -ucms -p <your_password>` (The password will be the one you set in config.env when you installed Xibo.)

then make sure that you have database selected, you can run `use <databaseName>` if it’s not selected (default database name is `cms`)

then finally run the command to change the password ie

> UPDATE `user` set `UserPassword` = MD5(‘password’), CSPRNG = 0 WHERE `UserID` = 1 LIMIT 1;

Where ‘password’ will be your new password.

Alternatively install PhpMyAdmin as docker container and run the sql command from there (process described in the link I’ve mentioned).
