Hello, I know this has been done before, but I just don’t get it to work.
I have lost the password for the CMS running on Docker for Windows.
In this topic it is made clear to run a sql-command on the web-container.
But I really don’t understand how to do that.
Do I use a powershell to do this?
I have tried the first line, and it comes back with the name of the web container. So far so good.
Then, the second line docker exec -it <container_name> bash doesn’t do anything.
So, for now I am stuck.
Attached you fond the screenshot.
When I tpye the commando for SQL, I can’t type anything in the powershell anymore.
At the bottom left, I see: Running script / selection. Press CTRL+Break to stop...etc...
Yes, it is Docker for Windows on my on PC. I am doing some tests before we buy a subscribtion for hosting and the Android license.
I have tried to follow these instructions, several times, but I just don’t understand how to connect to the database. I am familiar with MySQL (I use it for Joomla), but now I am stuck.
I hope you can show me the right way to do this.
Is it possible in the next release to create a "forgot username" and "forgot password" button?
It would be so much easier that way.
Email based password reset is coming in 1.8.12, but likely wouldn’t help you because you’re unlikely to have email setup and working on a local test install.
If you look at the second article I linked, it explains how to connect to MySQL inside Docker.
If that doesn’t work (and it really should), then there’s something else wrong with the setup. If you’re just testing prior to looking at Cloud, why not setup a Cloud demo (it’s free) and test with that?
